Series of .NET NHibernate performance issues articles

By
I've spent with NHibernate persistence implementation to our product last four months. I'd like to provide set of articles regarding performance issues of the NHibernate usage.

NHibernate team has been releasing huge manual having 189 pages. It contains the basic description allowing the developer to write persistence and not totally mess it up. If you want to develop fast application, you need to read discussions (such as those at stackoverflow.com) and solve the problems particularly one by one. According to my experiences, I've decide to write the series of articles regarding NHibernate, especially performance.

Prerequsities
All following articles will contain examples. I love spring.net so it's nonsense to do not use it because it's fine integrated together as well as log4net.

All examples which will be described or used in the whole series will use three classes as domain model. According to Domain Driven Design, there are root aggregate Library, child Book and it's child Rental. Don't linger on various circumstances like book's author should be separated aggregate or library is identified by it's name. Already, it's certainly that domain model needs to be changed because there are still no identificator at the database level.

Following picture defines relations between all domain classes, standard UML:

All examples are placed at github.com, see: https://github.com/MartinPodval/eu.podval/tree/master/NHibernatePerformanceIssues

All series part
  1. NHibernate performance issues #1: evil List (non-inverse relationhip)
  2. NHibernate performance issues #2: slow cascade save and update (flushing)
  3. NHibernate performance issues #3: slow inserts (stateless session)
  4. NHibernate performance issues #4: slow query compilation - named queries

Performance Battle of NoSQL blob storages #1: Cassandra

By
Preface We spend last five years on HP Service Virtualization using MsSQL database . Non-clustered server. Our app utilizes this system for all kinds of persistence. No polyglot so far. As we tuned the performance of the response time - we started at 700ms/call and we achieved couple milliseconds per call at the end when DB involved - we had to learn a lot of stuff. Transactions, lock escalation , isolation levels , clustered and non clustered indexes, buffered reading, index structure and it's persistence, GUID ids in clustered indexes , bulk importing , omit slow joins, sparse indexes, and so on. We also rewrite part of NHibernate to support multiple tables for one entity type which allows use scaling up without lock escalation. It was good time. The end also showed us that famous Oracle has half of our favorite features once we decided to support this database. Well, as I'm thinking about all issues which we encountered during the development, unpredictive behavio

ETCD: POST vs. PUT understanding

By
ETCD is distributed key value store used as a core component in CoreOS . I've already send a post earlier this week. Here is a page describing how to use ETCD basic commands = ETCD API. Code snippets placed in a page mostly use put , but ETCD allows to use post as well.  Most of us understand differences between those two commands in a notion of a REST(ful) service, but how does it work in key value store? POST Example over many words. curl -v http://127.0.0.1:2379/v2/keys/test -XPOST -D value="some value" curl -v http://127.0.0.1:2379/v2/keys/test -XPOST -D value="some value" Two same command result into following content: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 { "action" : "get" , "node" : { "key" : "/test" , "dir" : true , "nodes" : [ { "key" : "/test/194" , "value" : &
