I am selling my motorcycle because I don't really ride it much anymore, and the day the hood flew off of the mustang I decided it was time for a new (to me) car. If you are viewing this from outside of driving distance, then be aware that I will not be making any arrangements to ship/move or otherwise relocate the motorcycle. That will be completely up to the buyer.

Hey Everybody! As promised, though a little later than I'd originally hoped, here is a quick blurb on what I've done to make my fully distributed Hbase instance run with a little bit more stability. hbase.hregion.max.filesize Default: 268435456 This setting is the maximum file size of a region in any given Hbase table. Setting this to a lower value will inevitably increase the number of regions served, but it seems to help prevent time-outs when dealing with desktop grade hardware. It's a little easier for the system to move around and work with slightly smaller files. hbase.hstore.compactionThreshold \...
I am pleased to report that the 9.10 release of Ubuntu is available for Beta testing. I have had the Alpha running on a test machine for several weeks now with daily updates applied. My First impressions of the release are pleasing, but I haven't done too much with it yet. The first thing you'll notice when starting your new 9.10 machine is that the new kernel now seems to have some major video improvements. The screen resolution is automatically detected on my test machine, and the native resolution is applied even before the splash screen. If you use...
OK, OK, I know what you're thinking. "Where has this guy been with some more of this hadoop goodness that we just can't get enough of?" Well, I am (finally) back, and you'll be happy to learn what I brought with me: A whole mess more Hadoop and Hbase knowledge that I can't wait to show you!Nevertheless, the time has finally come. The brilliant developers over at Hbase have made a release candidate for version 0.20 available for download. I believe that the changes have slowed enough to document the installation procedures a bit. The link is for RC1, but...
In the last few weeks, I have become completely fascinated by clustered computing, and solving very large complex problems with a somewhat large number of cheap computers. While researching more efficient ways to store and search through my employers internal resume database, I stumbled onto this software called Hbase, which is a column-oriented database, modeled after Google BigTable. To increase speed and reliability, Hbase runs best on a distributed file system provided by the Hadoop Core project (HDFS).Documentation is plentiful for older versions of Hadoop, installed on older versions of Ubuntu, but there were significant changes in both Hadoop 0.20...
