All Things Open & Spark

(spark, all things open)

I was going to open this week’s blog by pointing out that my first-ever conference talk will be on Tuesday at All Things Open.. But then I realized that it’s actually my second conference talk, as ten years ago, I spoke at LinuxTag 2005 about DVD Authoring in Linux. 2005 was an interesting year, looking back. But maybe more on that another time.

Tuesday, then. I’ll be talking about debugging and tuning Spark Streaming pipelines, and when to throw them all away and just do it in Storm instead. There will also be pictures, if that helps.

Meanwhile, the house is full! Dad, Andy, and Ray are here and tomorrow will be starting the epic week-long attempt to add a shower and see if I can rack up frequent flyer bonuses at Home Depot (they’re doing well on that front so far!). Things currently look optimistic, but we’ll see how that mood survives while I’m out tomorrow and it’s tested by experience. Hundred-year-old houses are hard! Let’s go shopping!
