Raft does not guarantee liveness in the presence of partial network failures even if the majority of servers are up and connected to each other. In my latest blog post with @ittaia, we explain why this is the case and how to fix it. https://t.co/GvPVbWmpoQ
Really important behaviors of modern HTTP that I oddly haven't seen crystallized in one place before. Among other things, GraphQL is becoming less interesting.
Jeff Dean and co at GOOG just released a paper showing how machine-learned indexes can replace B-Trees, Hash Indexes, and Bloom Filters. Execute 3x faster than B-Trees, 10-100x less space. Executes on GPU, which are getting faster unlike CPU. Amazing. https://t.co/PPVkrFVKXg
