Thoughts on tech and random things I find on the web
Just a short article outlining some possible security problems with Hadoop. I think that’s becoming a larger issue with a lot of NoSQL and other products. Things are moving pretty quickly and it’s a great thing from an operational perspective, but a lot of the products haven’t undergone rigorous security testing and there are lot of risks that aren’t accounted for.
I’ve been playing around with a statsd module for Nginx. Looks pretty good so far and compiling it in didn’t give me any problems. Here is a Graphite graph of page requests to this blog.
Yet another very cool use of Nginx. Reverse caching Redis with LUA scripting.
Came across this today. Looks like a nifty little configuration management tool. Certainly far more basic than Puppet or Chef, but might be a decent way to get started with configuration management if you’re not there yet.
This is still really early and I would expect that widespread deployments are years away. It’s a huge step in the right direction though, by integrating Memcached with MySQL.
