I went from Schwern‘s Skimmable Code talk to one on HDFS Under the Hood, given by Sanjay Radai of Yahoo! It’s a complex topic, and he did a good job of making it all clear. I don’t think we have a need for HDFS any time soon, but some of the concepts he showed us might fit our needs soon.
At that was my morning. It’s going to be long afternoon (until about 8:00PM according to the schedule).
