Did I assist? No. Maybe you mean attend? Likewise, no. This certainly wasn't advertised per the HN headline, and must have been in some other track than what I attended, because this is the first I've heard of it. The conference is just over now otherwise I'd track down the authors.
I attended the Distributed Databases session yesterday. This paper presented a multi-datacenter transactional system with concurrency built on top of HBase: Serializability, not Serial: Concurrency Control and Availability in Multi-Datacenter Datastores<http://vldb.org/pvldb/vol5/p1459_stacypatterson_vldb2012.pdf>(Stacy Patterson, Aaron J. Elmore, Faisal Nawab, Divyakant Agrawal, Amr El Abbadi). So someone out there in academia is using HBase successfully. And the presentation was fantastic too, by the way. I also finally was able to attend a talk on PBS in person -- Probabilistically Bounded Staleness for Practical Partial Quorums<http://vldb.org/pvldb/vol5/p776_peterbailis_vldb2012.pdf>(Peter Bailis, Shivaram Venkataraman, Michael J. Franklin, Joseph M. Hellerstein, Ion Stoica) -- which is really cool work but made me glad our users are working with HBase. - Andy On Thu, Aug 30, 2012 at 4:55 PM, Jean-Daniel Cryans <[email protected]>wrote: > Please refer to: > > http://vldb.org/pvldb/vol5/p1724_tilmannrabl_vldb2012.pdf > > Which is also referred to on HN as "Benchmarks of Cassandra, HBase, > VoltDB, MySql, Voldemort and Redis" > > Andrew P., I think you were at VLDB this year?
