I went on a little European roadshow last month, presenting my recent work on transparent encryption in HDFS at Hadoop Summit Brussels and Strata Hadoop World London. I’ll also be giving the same talk this fall at Strata Hadoop World NYC, which will possibly be the biggest audience I’ve ever spoken in front of.

If you have access to O’Reilly, there should be a higher quality video available there.
Google recently unveiled one of their crown jewels of system infrastructure: Borg, their cluster scheduler. This prompted me to re-read the Mesos and Omega papers, which deal with the same topic. I thought it’d be interested to do a compare and contrast of these systems. Mesos gets credit for the groundbreaking idea of two-level scheduling, Omega improved upon this with an analogy from databases, and Borg can sort of be seen as the culmination of all these ideas.
