Yahoo’s Open Source Omid Project Brings Scalable Transaction Processing To HBase

A while back, Yahoo quietly made the code to Omid, an open source transaction processing system for the Apache HBase Hadoop big data store, available on GitHub. This is the same software the company uses internally to help it power thousands of search transactions per second.

Until now, Yahoo remained rather subdued about this project, but with the latest update, launching today, it feels the service is now robust enough for wider deployment and has proven its ability to scale. It’s also 10 times faster than the first version the company released to the public.

Yahoo’s director of engineering Ralph Rabbat and senior director of product management Sumeet Singh told me earlier this week that the company hopes that other platforms in the Hadoop and HBase ecosystem will adopt Omid.

Awesome! Ralph is my director!

RCA Music Club, a division of BMG… the offerings of 1988.

I divided this into two parts so you’d be able to read the album details when you click-to-enlarge. Plenty of these we still care about today, a few of them we stopped caring about 10+ years prior to this ad being published. Notice that not everything was available on compact disk yet, so they had a separate CD music club that you’d be punted into if you wanted that format.

Man what a walk down memory lane. I forgot all about those music clubs.
