ElasticSearch.org Website Search: Field Notes

These are field notes gathered during installation of website search facility for the ElasticSearch website.

You may re-use it to put a similar system in place.

The following assumes:

If you don't care about the explanation, scroll down to find the code, it's 50 some odd lines and written by someone who doesn't know any better. You have been warned.

What it does

This is a very simple proof of concept jitting RPN calculator implemented in python. Basically, it takes the source code, tokenizes it via whitespace, and asks itself one simple question: am I looking at a number or not?

First, let's talk about the underlying program flow. Pretend that you are a shoe connoisseur with a tiny desk. You may only have two individual shoes on that desk at any one time, but should you ever purchase a new one or get harassed by an unruly shoe salesman without realizing that you have the power to say no (or even maybe?), you can always sweep aside one of the two shoes on the desk (the one on the right, because you're a lefty and you feel that the left side is always superior) onto the messy floor, put the other shoe on the right hand side, and then place your newly acquired shoe in

"""
An alternative Django ``TEST_RUNNER`` which uses unittest2 test discovery from
a base path specified in settings, rather than requiring all tests to be in
``tests`` module of an app.

If you just run ``./manage.py test``, it'll discover and run all tests
underneath the ``TEST_DISCOVERY_ROOT`` setting (a path). If you run
``./manage.py test full.dotted.path.to.test_module``, it'll run the tests in
that module (you can also pass multiple modules).

Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns             
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs
