Netflix's Java Cassandra client.

JMX-to-HTTP bridge that Pancakes recommends for use with Cassandra.

Great case for dependency injection but I think it's mistaken to think that Java's the only way to get there.

Yammer's JVM-based web service library and build system. Note how it doesn't have any runtime dependencies besides Java itself.

Books, not articles.

The mostly useless documentation of Solr's JMX support.

Leaving solrconfig.xml alone and adding JVM options worked(ish) for me. Just remember to stop/start instead of restart the Jetty.

Hints on monitoring Solr via JMX in Munin.

Non-JMX monitoring of Solr stats. I can't figure out what the names of the JMX whatevers are to monitor Solr via JMX.

Learn Scala the Twitter way.

Teh algorithms.

The test coverage criticism aside, this is an interesting case study in a project elevating bad coding style to the level of idiom.

Google's Java primitives. They seem to reduce Malone's Java-rage so they must be good.

This intrigues me: "unlike most key/value stores, you can query for ordered ranges of keys." In my messing around with Cassandra, it's Thrift Interface seemed to actively hinder doing anything like this.

No more package name guesswork.

Using Hadoop's distributed filesystem with Amazon S3. Perhaps a better solution than SimpleDB for real data storage?
