When entering any questionable law enforcement situation (TSA, walking near a protest, traveling internationally) I always switch my phone to not use TouchID. Say what you will.

+1 for something along these lines to be available in all vendor's dev tools!

I tried to implement a system like this once, with the goal being to reduce the amount of equipment and clutter on the service counter, but ran into issues of trust. I learned very…

Wait, you mean the millions, possibly billions spent already haven't done a thing? Shocking! And now you can pay (TSAPre) to bypass the security theater essentially proving that th…

Spanky from Crate.io here if there are any followup questions.

Have you checked out Crate.IO? https://crate.io/overview as an "SQL for Elasticsearch" option.

At least they didn't update the power port...again.

Without violating your confidentiality, can you share what version of ES you experienced these failures with? I have also experienced this first hand, but since 0.9x and 1.0x a TON…

Lots of great questions here. Don't forget that you can also ask detailed questions in our Google Group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/crateio

True. There is an elected master node and you can configure a cluster to have master-only (non-data) nodes, data-only nodes (non-master eligible), or both. Even still, and even if …

Like Jodok says, we don't recommend this, but you could do it. What this would mean that if you destroy a container, you also destroy the data. This would cause your cluster to hav…

By shared-nothing, we mean that no node is special, no node is indispensable. Unlike other popular NoSQL databases, we don't have different classes of nodes. The persistent data is…

Yes, and while there are still cases (see the link @jodok supplied below) a ton of work was done in ES v1.4.x (which Crate uses) and even more issues were closed in ES v1.5 which w…

That's part of it, but not the whole picture. For example, we mostly bypass the ES query engine and go directly to Lucene. Queries are not simply translated to ES query syntax. Als…

Crate is a database engine that uses Lucene for storage and leverages portions of Elastic for cluster management. It is a NoSQL storage engine that gives you an SQL API (via REST).…

I should have mentioned, the Crate.io (database) codebase is on GitHub: https://github.com/crate and this is what we're building: https://crate.io/overview/

Hi, Spanky from Crate.io here. We still maintain the PyPI portion of the site at https://crate.io/packages As for crates.io, I guess their entitled to choose their own name & domai…

At Crate.IO, we've been playing around with deploying our clusters using Machine & Swarm, so this is pretty good use case: https://crate.io/blog/deploying-crate-with-docker-machine…

Basically right now, you can't run two third party services at once, because they both need to wrap the Docker commands. Now you can use multiple services at once (Flocker, Weave, …

I think the real meat of this article is here: "...strikes multiple targets, including cell walls...Since the lipid structures it attacks don’t evolve as quickly as frequently muta…
