The downloads page is only for official releases, RCs are not distributed the same way and are not permanent unless promoted to an official release. See the mailing list thread for…

terraform: 2014 ansible: 2012 openstack: 2010 cloudera: 2008 hortonworks: 2011 emr: 2011 (those were quickly googled, apologies if i got any dates wrong) timing is important. cloud…

Regarding your first issue, this is very much a matter of defaults. I can't be sure of your exact pipeline and connectors, but if, for example, you were using the JDBC connector, i…

I should also mention that system/integration tests of the new functionality was a requirement for releasing it. For example, here's one of the tests https://github.com/apache/kafk…

It's not Jepsen, but we actually do a fair amount of system and integration testing, some of which does things like kill nodes (randomly, the controller, etc) and validates data is…

Debezium implements Kafka Connectors, so the serialization is pluggable. Debezium can work with thrift, you just need a thrift converter for Kafka Connect.

It's not particularly efficient, but probably the easiest way to draw Voronoi diagrams on the GPU doesn't require a shader at all. Instead, use an orthographic projection and draw …

For apt repositories, you might be interested in http://www.aptly.info/ , especially if you want to host it on S3 as it integrates very well. As others have mentioned reprepo isn't…

In particular, http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#intro_consumers addresses the concept of consumer groups and what ordering is guaranteed. One thing that might be worth no…

Agreed! It's not Docker, but I'm working on getting a decent Vagrant setup included with Kafka: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1173 That supports pulling up a full clu…

Along similar lines, all of the English Wikipedia is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download#Eng... . That omits all the history (just the current pages), but stil…

The golang folks did a nice write-up on profiling Go code: http://blog.golang.org/profiling-go-programs and it covers both CPU and heap profiling. They've incorporated Google's per…

This is correct, here are the physical measurements: Nexus 4: 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1 mm Nexus 5: 137.84 x 69.17 x 8.59 mm That said, I still find it frustrating -- the Nexus 4 screen i…

Many years later, similar functionality made it into gdb: http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ReverseDebug

Given the huge variation in (mis)calibrated settings on top of the huge variation of displays themselves, you'd probably be fine running f.lux. In fact, I would think you would wan…

Thanks for trying it out. Sounds like a bug in the collection editor. I want to improve that process to handle cases like yours -- if you don't find the feed, make it easy to look …

Ah, sorry, I was using it in the locality sense (as in, coherent access). Admittedly less common, but not uncommon, in algorithms; downright confusing if you're in an architecture …

I'm just learning Go, I'm certainly no evangelist. One huge difference for me, however, doesn't have to do with the language. It's deployment. It's really nice for deployment to be…

For the vast majority of cases, I would expect panic/recover to work for iteration over in-memory data structures. For something like a database iterator where the possible errors …

To build on thrownaway2424's response, the point in the article was to demonstrate the pattern for building the iterator. Very simply structured data helps do that. In reality you'…

Fair enough. My day-to-day coding with Go right now involves large data sets where materializing something like that would be expensive. I'll admit my view of the issue is strongly…

I mentioned this pitfall, but didn't show how to solve it. I haven't seen a complete example yet and didn't take the time to work out the details yet. I'm less concerned about comp…

Testing performance by iterating over an array can be dangerous because all the data is conveniently grouped together such that the processor will have the next data it needs in ca…
