Modeling Uncertainty with Reactive DDD
Vaughn Vernon has written several books on DDD and reactive messaging patterns, and has found that the nature of distributed systems means you must deal with uncertainty. How to respond to a missing message, or a message that is received twice, should be a business decision, and therefore must be part of the domain model.

A Critique of Resizable Hash Tables: Riak Core & Random Slicing
This fall, Wallaroo Labs will be releasing a large new feature set to our distributed data stream processing framework, Wallaroo. One of the new features requires a size-adjustable, distributed data structure to support growing & shrinking of compute clusters. It might be a good idea to use a distributed hash table to support the new feature, but what distributed hash algorithm should we choose?
