    Comment #29362491

    I'm close to a 35+ yo engineer and have been with my current employer for over six years, mostly based in Europe. There are multiple ICs, myself included, in positions like the one…

    I tried to use this but once I start entering tasks I don't see how to proceed. There's no way forward from neither there nor the project list page. Am I missing something?

    There is an extension to linearizability that takes General Relativity into account. Paywalled unfortunately: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-662-45174-8_... I agre…

    https://github.com/uwplse/verdi is a good example of this (it uses coq and extractions along with minimal glue).

    employee here. Yep, we've also had our share of troubles with noisy clock on cloud environments, so that's something we're very aware of. Further down the road, we're considering a…

    I'm not really on wifi good enough to reply extensively, but I pushed an update to the post explaining this better. If you carry out the read explicitly, you can still get the anom…

    I don't think that gryadka is correct, see http://tschottdorf.github.io/if-its-not-paxos-its-probably-w... .

    Yes, if your timestamp is far enough in the past (this is determined by the maximum clock offset configured for the cluster), and if you don't collide with writes of a long-running…

    Cockroach Labs employee here. We provide serializable consistency for the whole keyspace. It's just that it's easier when you stay in one Raft ensemble as less can go wrong.

    Employee here - which discussion around NewSQL would you like to have? You pay for the consistency in more round trips between replicas, and you need a quorum of your nodes (which …

    Note that Spanner always waits out the clock uncertainty on commit, while Cockroach doesn't need to do that - by design there are fewer situations in which the offset really matter…

    Comment #9667023

    Exactly right. The hard part is building a key-value store with a powerful notion of transactions (not just compare-and-set or the like), and that's what's mostly done. Structured …

    Comment #9666996

    The plan is to get out of alpha as soon as possible. I'll leave it to the founders to throw dates around but we're working hard on getting the technical core on solid ground, and a…

    Comment #9666956

    Cockroach trusts the MaxOffset, and if your clocks don't live up to the promise, you might get some stale reads. By the way, Spanner breaks in the same way if their clock offset (v…

    Comment #9666465

    That's correct, it's a consistent system and so the majority needs to be involved on mutating writes. Reads typically can read from one designated copy of the replica directly (byp…

    not quite ready yet, but the pace has picked up dramatically. We've begun work on the structured data layer and are whipping up a suite of extensive acceptance tests (load testing,…
