@bigdataworkshop Very light slides from the "Adding structure with Hadoop and Cassandra" session http://bit.ly/9NbHGg #bigdata10

.@acunu have open sourced their in-kernel Stratified B-Tree implementation, codename Castle: http://t.co/oXP8HAV

Two Zookeeper protocol ports announced in one day; strong consistency arrived (eventually). http://t.co/k0FQRul http://t.co/k5Qe7Xy

Twitter's new policy ensures that if your rights are eroded, it is by noisy inches rather than silent miles. @amac's approach: #approved.

Historic first bivouac at the summit! Wasn't able to get a fire permit, but expecting a warm night. @jointheflock http://t.co/o2uudjCH

Excellent intro for the Storm stream processing framework that @nathanmarz and crew are releasing at @strangeloop_stl http://t.co/579t1ML

I'm very, very happy to announce that I'm going to be joining @rk's storage team at @twitter later this month!

Love my team: proud of and excited for what we're building! @alan @hyungoos @omrvp @mila_goetz @johnxorz @padauk9 @i0exception @yswu

Fault tolerant spanners sound ideal to drop the n^2 gossip overhead in systems like #Cassandra http://t.co/sIMNOLR via http://t.co/kjfFlfB

Great evolutionary merger of LevelDB's intervaltree with B-trees: pages are intervals, each doing independent LSM.  http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/170384/bw-tree.pdf …

An explosion (?) just blew a manhole cover off on Bush at Stockton near some construction. Still smoking. pic.twitter.com/uWC1eKxhaa
