Summary
In this presentation from QCon San Francisco 2009, Billy Newport discusses the ways that developers interact with key/value (KV) stores such as memcached and WebSphere eXtreme Scale, entity vs column-oriented approaches, synchronous and asynchronous operations, large data sets, using a DBMS as a column store, collocating closures and data, and features that could be added to increase scalability.
Bio
Billy Newport is a Distinguished Engineer working on WebSphere eXtreme Scale (ObjectGrid) and on WebSphere high availability, and has worked at IBM since Sept 2001. Besides his current activities, he helped add advanced APIs like the WorkManager APIs (JSR 236/237) and worked on the staff plugin architecture of WPS.

I'm sorry to correct Billy here, but he misses a point in just 2 minutes of his presentation. Redis does not use thrift and never has. Also, it supports an append-only log, so no data is lost (this was probably added after the presentation).
-
Oh, forgot to mention that Redis DOES support replication: code.google.com/p/redis/wiki/ReplicationHowto

The source code for the prototype implementation is online now at github. www.github.com/bnewport

Hi,
I think this kind of approach using key-value without transaction and locking only works for twitter-liked apps, where users do not accessing and updating one information in the same time.
Even in twitter-liked apps, user do not change data from other user.
How can this approach can be applied to business app like CRM, where 100-1000 user access and update information in the same time?
Regards,
Steve -
This approach implements atomic operations on the supported primitives like numbers, lists or sets but without transactions then you can't atomically work with multiple entries. If you want that kind of control then just using WebSphere eXtreme Scale directly with our normal APIs gives you that kind of model. Full atomic transactions, locking, serialization of changes and so on.

I actually found the proposal to use closures to run code on different nodes pretty neat. Looking forward to the prototype!
