Fwd: New NOSQL Summer meeting planned in Boston

[Dan Croak]

Howdy folks,

Hopefully you've all received a similar email to the one below. If
not, you can sign up for email alerts here:

Our next meeting is next Thursday. As we discussed last week, we'd
like to dive deeper into key-value stores.

* Check out the Cassandra paper http://nosqlsummer.org/paper/cassandra
* Nick Quaranto will do a short presentation on Redis
* I'm hoping the Riak guys can chip in somehow? Is there a second
paper that would complement this discussion well? There are a number
of time/clocks/timestamps/distributed time papers that sound similar
to the vector clocks discussion we started last week. Is there one in
particular that makes the most sense as a complement?

See you next week!

Dan

I believe that I'll be there again, and happy to talk Riak some more.

The most relevant paper for Riak is "Amazon's Dynamo":

http://nosqlsummer.org/paper/amazon-dynamo

Depending on which way the group would like the discussion to go, any
of the following could also be good/relevant:
* Vogel's "Eventually Consistent"
* Lamport's "Time, Clocks, and Ordering…"
* Mattern's "Virtual Time and Global States…"

Thoughts?

Sweet, thanks Bryan. I'm going to plan on additionally reading the
Amazon Dynamo and Eventually Consistent papers before next week, then.
Don't think I can handle vector clocks yet!
