which is difficult when troubleshooting distributed systems. If we had an ID for each streaming session then distributed tracing could easily reconstruct session failure by providing service topology, retry and error tags, and latency measurements for all service calls.

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. CLI tools The Cassandra systems were EC2 virtual machine (Xen) instances. There's no Java stack—there should be a tower of green Java methods—instead there's only a single green frame or two.

The Apache MADLib project is still going strong, and the recent (July 2019) 1.16 SQL provides a declarative programming interface, below which the system itself can figure out the most effective execution plans based on data size and statistics, layout, compute hardware etc. VLDB’19. Why would anyone want to do that???
