Cephとか、MySQLとか

とりあえず、忘れないように。。

Ceph as a scalable alternative to the Hadoop Distributed File System

THE HADOOP DISTRIBUTED FILESystem (HDFS) has a single metadata server that sets a hard limit on its maximum size. Ceph, a high-performance distributed file system under development since 2005 and now supported in Linux, bypasses the scal- ing limits of HDFS. We describe Ceph and its elements and provide instructions for installing a demonstration system that can be used with Hadoop.

Using MySQL as a NoSQL - A story for exceeding 750,000 qps on a commodity server

Most of high scale web applications use MySQL + memcached. Many of them use also NoSQL like TokyoCabinet/Tyrant. In some cases people have dropped MySQL and have shifted to NoSQL. One of the biggest reasons for such a movement is that it is said that NoSQL performs better than MySQL for simple access patterns such as primary key lookups. Most of queries from web applications are simple so this seems like a reasonable decision.
