ndb clusters
So, MySQL AB has a huge chunk of new documentation on the NDB API.
Short Story: Semi-sleepycat like API available, but its replicated/clustered and everything magically. [Example]
Brian Aker was at the memcached BOF at OSCON, saying how it is way cool, and could be used in some places to replace memcached.
But, what I haven’t found is anyone talking about using the ndbclient API in large scary production environments. Is there anyone out there really hammering it?
Infact, a Google Search for “ndbclient” only returns 111 results right now, none of which look too great.
It seems like it could be a great solution instead of using application level partitioning and replicating Berkeley DB in some use cases. I don’t mind being given a low level API and having to build my application level logic on top… It’s how Sleepycat has worked for 20 years.

You will find a lot more if you search for “MySQL Cluster”.

Yeah, but while MySQL Cluster is built on top of the same api — it’s users aren’t exposed to the internals of NDB nearly as much, and half the difficultly would be on how much NDB sucks (or doesn’t).

most NDBAPI users are companies we sell to. They have their own apps that they develop internally that are specific to their needs. This is why there’s less public ndbapi apps - they’re usually very specific. In the source tree though, we do have some simple (and more complex) ndbapi example programs - also a quite large test suite that’s all NDBAPI (as well as all the mysql server tests)

Hello,
Further to Stewart’s post, we are planning an NDB API-specific webinar in September by Johan Andersson.
It will be similar to his presentation at the 2006 MySQL User’s Conference which was entitled “NDB API: Using MySQL Cluster’s Hidden Magic”.
His archived resentation files located at:

Hello fellow Mead alumni,
I know that this is late… way late. But I just found your blog and would like to comment on what you have wrote almost 2 months back.
Although I’ve graduated from Mead quite a bit longer than you have (1986), I am not at all surprised that the codes for the programs are back from 2001. For public school, they are just trying to get by on whatever small budget that they have and use student (slave) labor if at all possible. Keep in mind that it is really a tribute to you and your fellow classmates that you’ve designed something so easy and useful that they are still utilizing it today! Congratulations!
Meanwhile, regarding the MySpace. It seems to have permeated the mainstream and have lots of people wanting to be involved. In this day of “look at me” and “I’m unique”, it is a forum where people can express themselves and show-off to other people while trying to get dates and stuff. Even people that are potentially famous have gone on and put themselves to be seen by the world. Case in point, the Los Angeles Lakers rookie draft choice 2005 Andrew Bynum. He has made the sports news regarding how he is bored and wishes to date and his feelings as a teenagers for all to see. The only thing that people don’t quite understand or remember is that they are there for “all to see”. Things go on there that may affect their life in employment (people admitting to doing drugs) and others.
Well, that’s my two cents from this older Mead graduate, Chun now from Long Beach being a Realtor doing real estate. Hey, reunion is this weekend!
Hope everybody is happy and remember to smile! I can be found at http://www.WOWWHEE.com and thanks for reading!
