More about the project in a moment, let’s get up to speed on what I’ll be including in this project. My main focus is to build a client library to access Orchestrate.io. During building this I’ll dive into the key value,... Continue reading
One of the core tools in the belt of the distributed database is consistent hashing. In Riak this is especially true, as it stands at the core of a Riak Cluster. Hashing, using a hash function, is an algorithm that maps data to variable length to data that’s fixed. In other words, odd things like... Continue reading
Setting up Riak to test out, prototype against, develop and use in a general way is extremely easy. Just setup a devrel on your local development machine. This is however limited to certain *nix based operating systems, so Windows as a dev platform is out – but not completely. Get a virtual machine running on... Continue reading
Before diving into architecture, coding, descriptions and other things related to distributed computing over the coming months. It helps to become familiar with a language like Erlang. I’m going to dive immediately into getting Erlang up and running before any theory, description or otherwise, so following the most direct installation… Installing Erlang This is easy...
