→ Common workflows in different DVCS's
Entry published mar 31 2009

This is from a Python PEP that goes through three DVCS’s, Mercurial, Bazaar, Git, and their current VCS, Subversion. For each common operation, like patch review, backing out a change, it shows what commands need to be run. Really interesting to compare all of systems. Perhaps you’ll pickup a trick or two.

An interesting comparison of some of the distributed key/value stores out there. Looks like I’m going to have to take a serious look at Cassandra.

→ Scaling Lucene & Solr
Entry published mar 15 2009

I stumbled across this great article from Lucid Imagination, a company founded by a bunch of Lucene committers, on how to scale Lucene and Solr.

Very useful advice for any Lucene shop.
