There seems to be something wrong with Google Groups, I tried sending
this twice without any effect so far, I hope this time this gets to
the group OK.
Like I promised I'm posting some links related to BASE/Eventually Consistent.
The first two links are the "assigned" papers for the meeting (aka
everyone needs to read these before the meeting):
http://portal.acm.org/ft_gateway.cfm?id=1394128&type=pdf
http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2008/12/eventually_consistent.html
Here are a couple more links that might be interesting in this context:
From "CouchDB: the Definitive Guide":
http://books.couchdb.org/relax/intro/eventual-consistency
The Architecture Overview of Cassandra has some information on it's
configurable approach to consistency:
http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ArchitectureOverview
Likewise in Riak Documentation:
http://wiki.basho.com/display/RIAK/Tunable+CAP+Controls+in+Riak
There's also a 20 min. long podcast on Eventual Consistency:
http://blog.basho.com/2010/05/14/planning-for-eventual-consistency/
Some blog post on BASE:
http://horicky.blogspot.com/2009/01/design-pattern-for-eventual-consistency.html
If anyone finds a related blog post/article/whatever, it would be
great if you shared it here with everybody else:)
Cheers,
Adam
P.S. To avoid the distractions caused by sharing the reading material,
please print out your own copy of the articles we are going to
discuss. I'll have a couple of extra copies handy for the forgetful,
but it might not be enough for everyone.
P.S.2. I don't mind writing all those announcements and stuff in
English, but since we're all Polish and the meetings will be held in
Polish, maybe we should switch the mailing list to Polish too?
