My thoughts on MessagePack

My thoughts on MessagePack

Hi. My name is Sadayuki "Sada" Furuhashi. I am the author of the MessagePack serialization format as well as its implementation in C/C++/Ruby.

Recently, MessagePack made it to the front page of Hacker News with this blog entry by Olaf, the creator of the Facebook game ZeroPilot. In the comment thread, there were several criticisms for the blog post as well as MessagePack itself, and I thought this was a good opportunity for me to address the questions and share my thoughts.

My high-level response to the comments

To the best of my understanding, roughly speaking, the criticisms fell into the following two categories.

Protecting against POODLE in node.js

[Google recently announced][poodle] that there is an exploit in SSLv3, this vulnerability is know as POODLE. There is no other option than to disable SSLv3 in order to combat this major flaw. There have already been [guides on how to disable this in different servers][guides]. But nothing excised for Node.js yet, until now. In order to resolve this for Node.js we need to use various of undocumented options and modules.

In the index.js file below you can see an example of how you can protect your HTTPS server against the POODLE attack. It uses the secureOptions option to pass in constants in to the SSL context which is created by node.

siege Mac OS X caveats
Mac OS X has only 16K ports available that won't be released until socket
TIME_WAIT is passed. The default timeout for TIME_WAIT is 15 seconds.
Consider reducing in case of available port bottleneck.
You can check whether this is a problem with netstat:
# sysctl net.inet.tcp.msl
net.inet.tcp.msl: 15000
# sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.msl=100

Modular JavaScript storage for databases

Summary: Introduce a totally new approach to highly modular database storage, i.e. taking the vibrant Node.js Level ecosystem below LevelUP to the storage layer in 100% JavaScript.*

Facebook recently released their fork of LevelDB, named "RocksDB". Their fork is a true fork in the sense that it is not backward compatible. Facebook have added a number of new features to RocksDB but more importantly they are attempting to make something more flexible that can be adjusted to suit different workloads.

But this is not about Facebook or RocksDB because they are still riffing on the same tune, albeit with a faster tempo. But their attempt at flexibility hints at the possibilities of modular storage technologies.

The Node.js Level* ecosystem is vibrant and growing rapidly. Most of this growth is in user-land above the storage layer. In 2014 I would like to see more innovation at the storage layer itself. Facebook are demonstrating a very limited kind of modularity in RocksDB but we believe that Node.js is mu
