RavenDB Sharding–Data Driven Sharding via Ayende @ Rahien
In my previous post, I introduced RavenDB Sharding and discussed how we can use Blind Sharding to a good effect. I also mentioned that this approach is somewhat lacking, because we don’t have enough information at hand to be able to really understand what is going on. Let me show you how we can define [...]

RavenDB Sharding – Blind sharding via Ayende @ Rahien
From the get go, RavenDB was designed with sharding in mind. We had a sharding client inside RavenDB when we shipped, and it made for some really cool demos…. via Ayende @ Rahien http://ayende.com/blog/155297/ravendb-sharding-ndash-blind-sharding?key=2a0451be-81f0-4b8a-891a-7815d4c109bd&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AyendeRahien+%28Ayende+%40+Rahien%29

John Horton Conway's Game Of Life
Reblogged from Programming Praxis: We studied one-dimensional cellular automata in a previous exercise. In today’s exercise, we will implement the famous two-dimensional cellular automaton by the British mathematician John Horton Conway, the Game of Life. Life was introduced by Martin Gardner in the October 1970 issue of Scientific American; I can remember coming home from [...]

NoSQL Data Modeling Techniques
Reblogged from Highly Scalable Blog: NoSQL databases are often compared by various non-functional criteria, such as scalability, performance, and consistency. This aspect of NoSQL is well-studied both in practice and theory because specific non-functional properties are often the main justification for NoSQL usage and fundamental results on distributed systems like the CAP theorem apply well to NoSQL systems. [...]

MapReduce Patterns, Algorithms, and Use Cases
MapReduce Patterns, Algorithms, and Use Cases: Ilya Katsov’s post enumerates an extensive set of patterns and algorithms each accompanied by use cases and pseudocode: counting and summing (log analysis, data querying) collating (inverted indexes, ETL) filtering, parsing, validation (log analysis, data querying, ETL, data validation) distributed task execution (physical and engineering simulations, numerical analysis, performance testing) [...]
