Congrats Mateusz and crew! This service looks great. The authentication interface looks reasonable as well. One optimization can be made is that the scanner and mutator interface doesn't need authtoken besides the open_* interface, since scanner id and mutator id are already random 64-bit integers. It'll save you an additional authtoken lookup at the thrift broker side.
Do you mind that I merge in the API accordingly (the authtoken is ignored by default.)? Comments/suggestions from everyone are welcome. One question, do you charge traffic even within ec2? If you make intra-ec2 traffic free, it'll be a lot more attractive. __Luke On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 3:15 PM, Mateusz Berezecki<[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear hypertable developers and users, > > Sometimes installing and maintaining Hypertable can be tough thing to do, > and we are aware that many of you, the users, are not accustomed to working > with this new approach to handling large volumes of data. > > Given these difficulties, we have decided to work on helping you > with some of the issues. > > As a first step, we have just launched an alpha version of our new > service http://www.episcale.com - which is essentially a hosted > hypertable cluster.
