distributed

I have a internet application that supports offline mode where users might create data that will be synchronized with the server when the user comes back online. So because of this I'm using UUID's for identity in my database so the disconnected clients can generate new objects without fear of using an ID used by another client, etc. However, while this works great for objects that are owned by this user there are objects that are shared by multiple users. For example, tags used by a user might be global, and there's no possible way the remote database could hold all possible tags in the

I am looking for a reasonably well tested library+server to store a persistent distributed hash table. I am hesistant to use SQL-based solutions as the data is highly document oriented, consisting of millions of ~64KB blobs with only a single index (computed by hash of said BLOB) - and needs to be able to be distributed for long term scaling prospects. Due to expense and bandwidth considerations, external solutions such as S3 are not an option. Something like CouchDB or Project Voldemort would be ideal - however there is a noticable lack of .NET bindings for both (PV can be IKVMC'd from Java -

My current development project has two aspects to it. First, there is a public website where external users can submit and update information for various purposes. This information is then saved to a local SQL Server at the colo facility. The second aspect is an internal application which employees use to manage those same records (conceptually) and provide status updates, approvals, etc. This application is hosted within the corporate firewall with its own local SQL Server database. The two networks are connected by a hardware VPN solution, which is decent, but obviously not the speediest

I've been browsing the net trying to find a solution that will allow us to generate unique IDs in a regionally distributed environment. I looked at the following options (among others): SNOWFLAKE (by Twitter) It seems like a great solutions, but I just don't like the added complexity of having to manage another software just to create IDs; It lacks documentation at this stage, so I don't think it will be a good investment; The nodes need to be able to communicate to one another using Zookeeper (what about latency / communication failure?) UUID Just look at it: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716

I'm trying to set up a distributed load testing environment using JMeter. I need to set up the remote clients using something portable like a Linux Live CD, but whenever I attempt to launch jmeter-server in Linux, I receive the following error... Created remote object: UnicastServerRef [liveRef: [endpoint:[127.0.0.1:49018](local),objID:[3b0d3d42:12985b7a49b:-7fff, -8459389540436649718]]] Server failed to start: java.rmi.RemoteException: Cannot start. testbox01.qa.nwr.lan is a loopback address. After extensive googling, the only remedy I can find is to edit the /etc/hosts file so the hostname
