My ZSH Theme

agnoster.zsh-theme

A ZSH theme optimized for people who use:

  • Solarized

  • Unicode-compatible fonts and terminals (I use iTerm2 + Menlo)

For Mac users, I highly recommend iTerm 2 + Solarized Dark

Upgrading a running elasticsearch cluster

Yesterday I upgraded our running elasticsearch cluster on a site which serves a few million search requests a day, with zero downtime. I've been asked to describe the process, hence this blogpost.

To make it more complicated, the cluster was running elasticsearch version 0.17.8 (released 6 Oct 2011) and I upgraded it to the latest 0.19.10. There have been 21 releases between those two versions, with a lot of functional changes, so I needed to be ready to roll back if necessary.

Our setup:

  • elasticsearch

We run elasticsearch on two biggish boxes: 16 cores plus 32GB of RAM. All indices have 1 replica, so all data is stored on both boxes (about 45GB of data). The primary data for our main indices is also stored in our database. We have a few other indices whose data is stored only in elasticsearch, but are updated once daily only. Finally, we store our sessions in elasticsearch, but active sessions are cached in memcached.

Quick and dirty (incomplete) list of interesting, mostly recent data warehousing/"big data" papers

A friend asked me for a few pointers to interesting, mostly recent papers on data warehousing and "big data" database systems, with an eye towards real-world deployments. I figured I'd share the list. It's biased and rather incomplete but maybe of interest to someone. While many are obvious choices (I've omitted several, like MapReduce), I think there are a few underappreciated gems.

###Dataflow Engines:

Dryad--general-purpose distributed parallel dataflow engine
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/dryad/eurosys07.pdf

Spark--in memory dataflow
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~matei/papers/2012/nsdi_spark.pdf

Moved

Now located at https://github.com/JeffPaine/beautiful_idiomatic_python.

Why it was moved

Github gists don't support Pull Requests or any notifications, which made it impossible for me to maintain this (surprisingly popular) gist with fixes, respond to comments and so on. In the interest of maintaining the quality of this resource for others, I've moved it to a proper repo. Cheers!
