Monmouth Montessori Academy is the best preschool we could possibly have chosen for our daughter. The administrator and teachers are such wonderfully nurturing people with whom we can feel completely comfortable entrusting the care and teaching of our child. They encourage daily parental updates, and let me know about her day. She is encouraged to try new and different things every day and she absolutely loves going to school and loves her teachers. Her self esteem and self confidence is sky high since starting this school. She comes home singing the songs she learned in class and is always so proud of the work that she is doing. She truly enjoys being around her classmates, who are all such nice children. The other parents are also team players in that they volunteer to help each other out whenever needed. It really makes the school members and parents feel like a part of the family. The kids are taught so many wonderful things that make them well-rounded individuals ready for the great big world around them. We will attend this school for as long as they will let us. :-)
This school is awesome! My child loves going to school and he comes home very happy. Miss Balzarini is a great teacher and a wonderful influence giving the children the confidence and love of learning all young kids need.
After experiencing my little girl coming home day after day telling me how sad she was having to go to another "Unnamed Preschool", and in tears every morning begging me not to take her, I knew I had to look elsewhere! I checked out two Goddard schools and a local preschool and was not impressed for how much they were charging. The second I stepped foot into Montessori, I knew this was it. Now she comes home everyday with a huge smile and lots of great stories and wakes up saying she can't wait to go to school! What a difference! We immediately felt so welcome and comfortable! Thank you for showing her what these years are supposed to be like!
I am completely in love with the director, the school and most especially my son & daughters teacher, Mrs. DuBois. She greets them at their level with a handshake and warm smile and connects with them, fostering their strengths to grow and flourish. It is such a gentle, loving way to educate our children while fostering their self-esteem and encouraging them to find not only the joy in learning, but the joy in life.
This school knows how to inspire, build confidence, and make learning fun. My six year old daughter is now reading two years ahead of grade level and read very little when she started here. I have two sons who also went through montessori education through second grade and they are top of their class in public school / spelling bee champion and the other was accepted to mensa. I credit much of their success to montessori molding their talents and nurturing their curiosity for learning. This school is by far the best montessori we have experienced; we have tried three different montessori schools due to job moves around the country; some of these schools were much more expensive than MMA but we clearly see this school as the best education regardless of price. The teaching staff here includes the right mix of experience and youth they show they care about every single kid. I could not ask for more. I am giving my daughter the VERY BEST education and I sleep well knowing this. Don't take my word; visit this school and I am sure you will see why my child is thriving there and always comes home with a smile and a story to tell about what she learned.
This school is amazing. We feel lucky to have found such a special place during their first year. All the teachers are patient and caring. The administrator is so kind. My child had difficulties adjusting to school in the beginning of the year and all staff was absolutely amazing helping my child get through those first few weeks. Children are introduced to so many interesting things, even the very young ones. You can really feel the love here.
I LOVE this school! The teachers and director have made our daughter's first experience with school a HUGE success. She comes home singing songs and reciting little rhymes learned in class. She is so excited to show me her artwork and to tell me about her day. They were extremely patient, warm, and caring with her (and us!) the first month as she had a bit of an adjustment period. Now she can't wait to go to school to see her teachers and friends. I'm also impressed with the "whole child" approach and the quality of education that she is receiving in the pre-primary class. The school and teachers are amazing!
When it was time for our daughter to go to school, we knew our local public school wasn't going to cut it. We wanted to find a place where she would excel academically but also where she could be happy. MMA fits the bill and so much more. Her teachers encourage her strengths and seek innovative ways to work around her weaknesses - the personal attention is fantastic. Bullying and cruelty are not tolerated. Imagination and intellectual curiosity are encouraged. We love it!
I am so pleased with this school! It is absolutely the best decision I have ever made to enroll her at Monmouth Montessori. The teachers are exceptional and they truly care about my child as well as all the children. The administration is warm and inviting and truly wants everyone to feel as if we are all part of a community. My child is in the right place and my younger ones will be attending in the near future.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this school! Warm and inviting with great communication between the teachers and parents as well as with the administration. The staff at this school truly cares about my child and they do their best to make my child and my family feel like we are part of a community. The teachers are Incredible and the Director is truly amazing. She has gone above and beyond my expectations to make this a great learning environment. The icing on the cake is that the large playground is awesome and the school house is so charming and very clean. My child is blossoming and I am looking forward to many years here!

The Gopher's pedestrian finish didn't damn their NCAA hopes. Here's some initial analysis of the matchup. Get your bracketology on.
Will a first round Big Ten tourney win against N'Western get the Gophers into the NCAA? Here's the handicap.
Bloody marys with a bookie at the height of March Madness
University of Minnesota wrestling coach J Robinson's to-do list this season: win big ten championship. Win national title. Put stranglehold on the growth of women's athletics.
What's with Kevin Clark's erratic performance this season? And what's Clem Haskins going to do about it?
The Gophers look good for '99. Unfortunately, so does the rest of the Big Ten.
The Gophers' Women's Volleyball team is becoming one of the best squads in the nation. But can they satisfy their athletic director?
The Gophers' postseason will, like the regular season, be a moral victory.
Fans forget that college basketball, especially under Clem Haskins, is often defined by slow growth, not perpetual motion. Hopefully, Gophers center Miles Tarver will ignore them.

WISH-TV, virtual channel 8 (VHF digital channel 9), is a CBS-affiliated television station located in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. The station is owned by LIN Media, as part of a duopoly with MyNetworkTV affiliate WNDY-TV (channel 23). The two stations share studio faclilties located on North Meridian Street (at the north end of the Television Row section) on the near north side of Indianapolis; WISH-TV maintains transmitter facilities located on Walnut Drive in the Augusta section of the city's northwest side (near Meridian Hills).
WISH will lose its CBS affiliation to Tribune Media-owned WTTV on January 1, 2015.
WISH-TV's studios also serve as a master control hub and house some internal operations for LIN Media's fifteen other owned and/or operated television stations in the Midwestern U.S. (WANE-TV/Fort Wayne, WLFI-TV/Lafayette, WTHI-TV/Terre Haute, WOOD-TV-WOTV-WXSP-CD/Grand Rapids-Kalamazoo, WDTN-WBDT/Dayton, WKBN-TV-WYTV-WYFX-LD/Youngstown and WLUK-TV-WCWF/Green Bay), in addition to handling traffic, accounting services and some programming responsibilities for all of LIN's stations.
On cable, WISH-TV is available on Bright House Networks channel 3, Comcast Xfinity channel 7 and AT&T U-verse channel 8 in standard definition and Xfinity digital channel 708, and Bright House Networks and AT&T U-verse channel 1008 in high definition.
The station first signed on the air at 6:00 p.m. on July 1, 1954. Founded by C. Bruce McConnell – owner of radio station WISH-AM (1310, now WTLC) – it was the third television station to sign on in the Indianapolis market, after WFBM-TV (channel 6, now WRTV), which signed on in May 1949 and Bloomington-licensed WTTV (channel 10, now on channel 4), which signed on six months later in November 1949. WISH-TV originally operated as a primary ABC affiliate with a secondary affiliation with the DuMont Television Network. The station also carried several CBS and NBC programs that WFBM-TV and WTTV respectively declined to carry. WISH-TV originally transmitted its signal from a tower it shared with WISH radio; the following year, the station constructed a 1,000 feet (300 m) transmitter tower, which allowed the station to improve its signal coverage in the market.
In 1956, McConnell sold the station to the Indiana Broadcasting Company, the broadcasting subsidiary of J.H. Whitney and Company and owners of WANE-TV in Fort Wayne. The new owners persuaded CBS to move its programming to channel 8, taking that affiliation from WFBM. Conversely that same year, WISH-TV lost the ABC affiliation to WTTV (this resulted in WLBC-TV (channel 49, allocation now occupied by PBS member station WIPB) in Muncie serving as the de facto ABC affiliate for the northern part of the market as WTTV's signal did not extend very far north outside of Indianapolis's northern suburbs as its transmitter was located farther south than the market's other stations). Also in 1956, WISH became one of the first television stations in the United States to install a videotape machine.
Indiana Broadcasting became the Corinthian Broadcasting Corporation in 1957, with WISH-TV serving as the company's flagship station. Corinthian merged with Dun & Bradstreet in 1971. Dun & Bradstreet sold its entire broadcasting unit to the Belo Corporation in February 1984. However, the merger put Belo two stations over the television ownership limits that the Federal Communications Commission had in effect at the time. As a result, the company sold WISH-TV and WANE to LIN Broadcasting (the predecessor of LIN Media) the following month in March 1984. LIN was headquartered in Indianapolis for many years, with WISH-TV serving as that company's flagship television property; the company eventually moved its headquarters to Providence, Rhode Island in the late 1990s, resulting in WPRI-TV replacing WISH as LIN's flagship station. In 1995, the station relocated its transmitter to a new tower built in the Augusta section of Indianapolis.
In 2002, WISH-TV began handling the master control operations of WANE-TV and fellow sister station WLFI in Lafayette. The hub expanded to include the Buffalo duopoly of WIVB-TV and WNLO in October, with other LIN-owned stations gradually being added to the WISH hub by the summer of 2003.[1]
LIN later acquired low-power Univision affiliate WIIH-CA (channel 17, now a fill-in translator for WISH-TV) in 2004. On February 10, 2005, the Paramount Stations Group subsidiary of Viacom sold UPN affiliate WNDY-TV (channel 23, now a MyNetworkTV affiliate) as well as its Columbus sister station WWHO to LIN TV for $85 million, creating a duopoly with WISH-TV when the sale was finalized that spring.[2] On May 18, 2007, the LIN TV Corporation announced that it was exploring strategic alternatives that could have resulted in the sale of the company.[3]
On September 15, 2008, LIN and Time Warner Cable entered into an impasse during negotiations to renew retransmission consent deals for some of the group's television stations. Bright House Networks, one of two major cable providers serving Indianapolis, negotiates retransmission consent contracts through Time Warner Cable. LIN TV requested compensation for carriage of its stations in a manner similar to the deals that cable networks have with pay television providers, as other broadcast station owners began to seek compensation from cable and satellite providers for their programming. The carriage agreement with Bright House expired on October 2.[4] By 12:35 a.m. on October 3, LIN's television stations were replaced on Time Warner Cable systems in markets where the group owns stations and where either provider operates systems with programming from other cable channels. LIN's stations (with the exception of WIIH-CA) were restored 23 days later on October 26 through a new carriage agreement reached between Time Warner Cable and LIN TV.
On March 21, 2014, Media General announced that it would buy LIN Media in a $1.6 billion deal, described as a "merger."[5][6]
On Monday, August 11, 2014, it was announced that WISH would be losing its CBS affiliation of 58 years to Tribune Media's CW-affiliated WTTV, after Tribune and CBS made a new affiliation agreement that would begin on January 1, 2015.[7] This deal is reportedly a result of WISH balking at CBS' demands for reverse retransmission consent compensation from their affiliates.[8] This is the second time in Indianapolis television history that WTTV took an affiliation from WISH, the first being ABC in 1956. Barring any further affiliation switches or a move of the MyNetworkTV schedule from WNDY, WISH is likely to be an independent station beginning January 1, 2015. The loss of WISH's CBS affiliation also affected the Media General-LIN merger, with the purchase price being lowered by $110 million in stock, though no other factors were affected.[9]
Digital television[edit]
Digital channels[edit]
The station's digital channel is multiplexed:
|PSIP Short Name
|Main WISH-TV programming / CBS
|Local Weather Station (LWS)
|Forecast 8 VIPIR HD
WISH-TV operates a 24-hour local weather service on its second digital subchannel, branded as LWS (or "Local Weather Station"); similar to the now-defunct SkyTrak Weather Network service previously operated by WTHR (channel 13) and its sister station WALV-CD (channel 46), the service also began to be simulcast on low-power sister station WIIH-CA on January 1, 2009, after that station lost its Univision affiliation; WIIH-CA dropped the service when it was converted into a fill-in translator of WISH-TV in January 2011. Channel 8 carries a half-hour simulcast of the LWS service on its primary channel on Friday nights/early Saturday mornings. The station also carries a 24-hour feed of its Doppler radar system, "Forecast 8 VIPIR HD," on its third digital subchannel.
On August 7, 2009, WISH-TV began operating a Mobile DTV feed of subchannel 8.1, available as an app for BlackBerry devices.[11]
Analog-to-digital conversion[edit]
WISH-TV signed on its digital signal on VHF channel 9 on December 17, 1998; two days later on December 19, the station broadcast its first program in high definition when it broadcast an NFL game telecast in the format. The station shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 8, on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition VHF channel 9.[12][13] Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former VHF analog channel 8.
On January 29, 2010, LIN TV filed an application to the FCC to operate a digital fill-in translator on UHF channel 17,[14] an allotment that was previously occupied by the analog signal of Class A sister station WIIH-CA; the FCC granted a construction permit to build the translator's transmitter facilities on June 16.[15] The translator, which shares the same transmitter facility as WISH's main signal in the Augusta section of Indianapolis and began operating on January 13, 2011, serves parts of Indianapolis that lost signal coverage after the 2009 digital transition. The translator is mapped as virtual channel 8, which results in PSIP channel duplication while tuning sequentially on digital tuners in areas that are able to receive both signals, as the translator simulcasts WISH-TV's main channel and its two digital subchannels.
Syndicated programs broadcast by WISH-TV include Entertainment Tonight, Inside Edition, Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures, Steve Harvey and Rachael Ray. The station also produces the hour-long talk and lifestyle program Indy Style, which airs weekday mornings at 9:00 a.m. For many years, WISH-TV had carried Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, acquiring the local rights to the programs from NBC affiliate WTHR in Fall 1988; both game shows moved back to WTHR in 2002.
WISH-TV clears the majority of the CBS network schedule, with exception of the Saturday edition of CBS This Morning, the weekend editions of the CBS Evening News and the second half-hour of Face the Nation, which instead air on WNDY. As time permits, WNDY may also take on the responsibility of airing other CBS programs that channel 8 is unable to air due to extended breaking news or severe weather coverage, or special programming; such an example has occurred from 2009 to 2011, when WNDY aired the US Open while WISH-TV opted to carry its regular programming schedule.
Sports programming[edit]
WISH-TV airs most Indianapolis Colts regular season games as well as any playoff games involving the team through CBS, via the network's broadcast rights to the NFL's American Football Conference. The move of Colts games to WISH-TV when CBS acquired the rights to the AFC in 1998 coincided with the debut of rookie quarterback Peyton Manning, who spearheaded the Colts offense through 2010, when he signed with the Denver Broncos (because of Manning's popularity in the area, WISH-TV has generally aired Broncos games if there is no Colts game on CBS). WISH-TV has also carried two Super Bowl games featuring the Colts that were televised by CBS: 2007's Super Bowl XLI (in which the Colts beat the Chicago Bears) and 2010's Super Bowl XLIV (in which the team lost to the New Orleans Saints). In addition, the station airs four Colts-related programs during the NFL season: Countdown to Kickoff, Colts UpClose, the coaches program The Bill Polian Show and Huddle Up Indy.
WISH is also the home of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, to which CBS picked up the exclusive rights in 1981-82. Due to Indiana's status as a college basketball hotbed and local teams such as Indiana and Purdue being longtime fixtures in the tournament, NCAA Tournament games on WISH have long been among the highest-rated programs in the market during tournament season.
As a result of WISH losing its CBS affiliation in January 2015, the station's status as the unofficial "home" station of the Colts will end after the 2014 NFL regular season. If the Colts make the playoffs, any playoff games would be carried on new affiliate WTTV, since the playoffs start in January.
News operation[edit]
WISH-TV presently broadcasts 34 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with five hours on weekdays and 4½ hours on Saturdays and Sundays); in addition, the station produces the 40-minute sports highlight program The Sports Locker, which airs Sundays at 11:20 p.m. and airs the magazine program Indiana Week in Review (which is produced in conjunction with PBS member station WFYI (channel 20)), on Saturday mornings at 2:35 a.m.
In 1963, WISH-TV became the first television station in the market to provide extensive live coverage of a major local news event, when it covered the deadly explosion at the Fairgrounds Coliseum. WISH-TV's newscasts were the highest-rated in the Indianapolis market from the mid-1980s until WTHR overtook it for the #1 position in 2002. The station's ratings success was largely attributed to the longevity of most of its news staff, some of whom have been at the station for over 20 years. Mike Ahern was the station's main weeknight news anchor as well as the de facto face of its newsroom for more than 30 years (the longest tenure of anyone in Indianapolis television history); he joined channel 8 as a reporter in 1967 and was promoted to lead anchor in 1974, where he remained until his retirement from the anchor chair on December 1, 2004 (Ahern later hosted sister station WNDY's now-cancelled interview program One on One). Debby Knox joined Ahern as co-anchor on the weeknight newscasts in 1980 and remained with the station until she retired on November 26, 2013. Stan Wood served as the station's main weather forecaster from the 1960s until 1991, while Patty Spitler served as anchor of the noon newscast and entertainment reporter from 1982 to 2004. Lee Giles, who left the station in 2004, was one of the longest-tenured news directors in local broadcasting.
For a time during the 1990s, WISH-TV advertised that "more people in Central Indiana get their local news from 24-Hour News 8 than from any other source" at the close of many of its newscasts and in promos for its newscasts. The station's local newscasts are currently at a distant second place behind WTHR in most timeslots, except during the 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. period on weeknights, when both stations maintain a much tighter viewership margin. However, due to the recent strength of CBS' primetime lineup (as well as the fact its late news serves the lead-in for Indianapolis native David Letterman's late night talk show on the network, the Late Show), WISH has recently regained the lead in the 11:00 p.m. slot. The station's "I-Team 8" investigative reports have earned the station numerous journalism awards, including Regional Emmy, Peabody[16] and Edward R. Murrow Awards (the station was awarded the latter in 1998 and 2006). In 2008, the Indiana Associated Press Broadcast Association honored WISH-TV with the "Outstanding News Operation" and "Outstanding Weather Operation" designations.
In 1990, WISH-TV implemented the "24-Hour News Source" concept that was originally developed that year by WEWS-TV in Cleveland; the format, which began spreading to other television stations nationwide around that timeframe, involves the production of 30-second news updates that air at or near the top of every hour during local commercial break inserts – even during primetime network and overnight programming – in addition to the station's long-form newscasts in regularly scheduled timeslots. The station continues to utilize the format to this day (which is reinforced in the branding that the station has used for its news programming off-and-on since 1990, 24-Hour News 8, and all but one of the varying news slogans it had used from 1990 to 2014), even as stations elsewhere had discontinued the hourly update format by the early 2000s. As of June 2014, WISH-TV, Grand Rapids, Michigan sister station WOOD-TV (which also brands its newscasts as 24-Hour News 8) and KCRG-TV in Cedar Rapids, Iowa are the only remaining U.S. television stations that still utilize the "24-Hour News Source" concept in some form.
For many years, the news themes that WISH-TV had commissioned have incorporated components (including the eight-note musical signature) from the song Back Home Again in Indiana; these include two custom packages by Stephen Arnold Music – "Newsleader" (used from 1991 to 1997) and the "WISH-TV News Music Package," a customized version of Arnold's "Counterpoint" package (used from 1997 to 2004) – and an alteration of the V.3 package from 615 Music's "In-Sink" (used from 2004 to 2012).[17] The 615-composed custom package "A New Wish," introduced on September 5, 2012, was the first theme used by the station in 21 years to omit compositional ties to "Back Home Again in Indiana". On February 28, 2005, shortly after LIN TV announced its purchase of channel 23, WISH-TV took over production of WNDY's 10:00 p.m. newscast from WTHR, which had produced the program from its inception on March 16, 1996; this partnership expanded to include an hour-long extension of WISH's weekday morning newscast at 7:00 a.m., which debuted on January 5, 2009.
On September 8, 2008, WISH-TV became the second television station in Indiana to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition; the WNDY newscasts were included in the upgrade. On September 9, 2013, WISH-TV added a half-hour to its weekday morning newscast at 4:30 a.m., becoming the last English language news-producing station in the market to expand its morning newscast to a pre-5:00 a.m. timeslot (WTHR had an eight-year head start, expanding its morning newscast into the 4:30 slot in 2005; that station was later joined by WXIN in 2009 and WRTV in 2010).
When the station becomes Independent starting January 1, 2015, WISH-TV 8 will expand its news operation by 20 hours a week, starting by moving the 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. newscasts over from WNDY to WISH-TV. The morning newscast, 24-Hour News 8's Daybreak would expand another hour to 8:00 a.m. while the noon newscast will expand to an hour. The 5:00, 5:30 and 6:00 p.m. newscasts will be joined by a new 6:30 p.m. newscast and the 10:00 p.m. newscast would move and remain an hour long, while keeping the half-hour 11:00 p.m. newscast in place. No expansions for weekends have been announced so far.[18][19]

Last October I published a post that identified the features that both JBoss Data Grid and Oracle Coherence provide (link). My goal was to establish a baseline for the features that a data grid should provide. It was not to state that one data grid was better than the other. Little did I know an Oracle employee would respond by attacking Red Hat, its engineers, and myself.
It is fear? Is it hostility? I don't know.
I have engaged in discussions with competitors before. Roman and I engaged in a competitive discussion in response to one of my posts comparing IBM WebSphere and JBoss EAP (link). However, we both conducted ourselves in a professional manner. I've engaged in competitive discussions with Spring evangelists, but we focused on the technology.
I always enjoy reading the discussions between Cameron, Nikita, and Nati on the TheServerSide. I find their discussions to be insightful. They conduct themselves in a professional manner. To me, it looks like they respect each other and they respect each others products.
To be fair, this is just a single anonymous visitor. If they had not left a comment while connected to Oracle's network, I would not have known that they work for Oracle. However, I would have inferred it.
Let the show begin.
Oracle Guest
I'm also interested in this question too RK. JDG lack of references that could corroborate performance majority against Coherence. Coherence in the other hand has a lot of public cases that shows how scalable, reliable and fast it is. It is the word's first in-memory computing platform of the world, so this blog doesn't offer credibility at all, mostly because Shane is a marketing guy from Red Hat.
He's just using a old marketing technique to improve reliability of their offers product, comparing it with another one which is leader in its industry, like Coherence. Comparing with Coherence would pass the idea of "JDG is so good just like Coherence, so instead of buying Coherence, buy from Red Hat" but in fact it is not true. JDG should implement A LOT OF features to be comparable with Coherence.
I published the results of a performance test (JDG 6.0.1) last December (link). I have written a technical white paper that includes the results of a number of performance tests (JDG 6.0.1). However, it is awaiting publication. I expect it to be made available via the Red Hat Customer Portal. In addition, I will be publishing the results of a few performance tests (JDG 6.1) executed on better hardware to How to JBoss within the next two weeks.
I executed the performance tests with RadarGun (link), an open source project for data grid performance testing. When I published the results, I provided both the RadarGun and the JDG configuration files. The best way for an organization to select a data grid based on performance and reliability is to configure and execute their own performance tests based on their own requirements in their own controlled environment.
Oracle Guest
Those results compares JDG against Terracotta from Software AG, not with Coherence from Oracle. You cannot say at all that JDG is better than Coherence because you've never tested. Again, not reliable statements coming from you. You've tried to use a Terracotta comparison to generalize JDG performance results. Lets call Oracle, VMware, IBM, Gigaspaces and TIBCO to participate of the tests.
I have never stated that JDG performs better than Oracle Coherence. Thus, I am unaware of these "not reliable statements". Can you could point them out? You are welcome to call Oracle, VMWare, IBM, GigaSpaces, and TIBCO. They are welcome to use the my RadarGun and JDG configuration files to configure and execute their own performance tests with RadarGun. This is essentially what I did after coming across the performance test results published by Terracotta. I simply used the parameters that they made available. As I mentioned previously, a number of organizations evaluating JDG are doing just that. They are executing performance tests against both JDG and Oracle Coherence using RadarGun or YCSB (Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark).
Tongosol Coherence was an innovative product in its day, but that day was several years ago. I do not question that it remains reliable. However, there have been a number of advancements in distributed systems over the past few years. JBoss Data Grid brings together the reliability of the previous generation of data grids and the innovation of the next generation of data grids.
Oracle Guest
For some unique features of Coherence like its non-blocking I/O TCP/IP network based on TCMP, which allow it to achive better results with distributed transactions, fail-over detection (the fastest of the industry) WAN replication with latency issues due geographical distribution and the HTTP Session offload from AppServers. Not mentioning integration with A LOT OF AppServers like WebLogic, GlassFish, Websphere, Tomcat, IIS, Resin and even your JBoss AS. JDG only gives support for which is from Red Hat. What a nice example of being "open" hãm ?! :)
The TCMP features that you listed are not unique to TCMP. They are provided by JGroups as well. Those features include non-blocking I/O (NIO), failure detection, and cross site (WAN) replication. I would hope that Oracle Coherence*Web would support both Oracle WebLogic and Oracle GlassFish. Is that really a feature? If so, Red Hat provides it as well. JDG supports both JBoss EAP and JBoss EWS (Apache Tomcat). However, there is no reason for an organization to use JDG or Oracle Coherence*Web for session replication with IBM WebSphere.
Red Hat public references include both Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) and Cisco, and they have both presented at Red Hat Summit / JBoss World. I can't think of an environment with higher demands for both performance and reliability than financial trading. The Pentaho BI Platform / Server includes a plugin for Infinispan (link). There is no Oracle Coherence plugin.
Oracle Guest
Only this? Coherence has thousands of customer references, including mission critical ones that for years NEVER, I mean, NEVER restarted their servers. Come on, you can do better than this. Red Hat (you) should be a little bit more humble when talking about leaders like Oracle. Someday Red Hat will be a huge company, I don't doubt that, but that didn't happened so far and will take some time.
Can you point out a list that includes thousands of public customer references for Oracle Coherence? The only list that I found includes 39 customer references, and that list includes duplicates (link). You state that thousands of Oracle Coherence customers have NEVER restarted their servers. That is a bold claim. Do you have evidence to support such a claim? After all, servers may be restarted to upgrade the hardware and / or operating system. That, and enterprise software typically has a finite life cycle. Has not a just one of those thousands of Oracle Coherence customers ever upgraded their original version to the latest version? I suspect that you and I have different interpretations of "huge company". I find it ironic that you demand humility while showing disrespect.
Are you stating that because the company you work for (Oracle) productized (well, acquired) a data grid before the company I work for (Red Hat) and that my role is now in marketing, I lack credibility in the data grid domain? I would advise against such a statement. My technical knowledge of data grids is second to none, and it is not derived from my role in marketing. I have worked with a number of enterprise organizations in the financial, telecommunication, and media sectors in a developer / architect capacity in my previous role to integrate data grids in demanding environments.
Oracle Guest
Oh yes? Give me examples of data grid technologies you've worked with, scenarios of data partitioning and JVM tuning you've implemented for, entity domain versioning strategies you've designed it, hashCode algorithms strategies that you've proposed for a complex based key node, examples of KPIs that you retrieved from JMX and from the DG, and of course, examples of the following DG scenarios: average latency less than 600 microseconds, 5k TPS or higher considering a transaction with a minimum of 15KB of size, client applications both based on Java, C++, .NET and "the rest of world" that could be accessed with REST or SOAP, projects with more than 20K hours of duration (real one projects) instead of stupid POCs, usage of at least three serious data grids technologies including Coherence, GemFire, Websphere eXtreme Scale, Gigapaces, TIBCO ActiveSpaces, etc.
I do not question your knowledge and experience, nor am I going to. I am dumbfounded as to why you feel justified in questioning mine.
I look at it like this. You have pilots, and you have mechanics. You have users, and you have engineers. A pilot knows how the controls work, a mechanic knows the parts work. When it comes to JDG, I have been a full time pilot and a part time mechanic. However, the activities that you have mentioned are those of a user, not of an engineer. Further, they are not specific to data grids. It's one thing to talk about metrics, latency, and throughput. It's another to talk about concurrency, algorithms, and how distributed systems work.
JVM tuning. I have posted a handful of notes on both OS and JVM tuning (link / link / link). Instead of talking about JVM tuning, let's talk about implementations of ConcurrentMap (link). JMX. I have monitored and analyzed the performance of JDG with JBoss Operations Network, in-house tools, and BTrace. Here is a list of JMX attributes and operations for JDG (link). An average of latency of 600 microseconds is not particularly impressive in the financial trading industry. Nor is 5,000 transactions per second. Did I not mention, the fact that I collaborated with their engineers, and that co-presented with them at Red Hat Summit / JBoss World? Instead of talking about latency and throughput, let's talk about data structures and eviction algorithms (link). I'll be honest, I have not worked on projects that required integration in a heterogeneous environment. Those that have, have done so with REST and memcache. Oracle Coherence doesn't support the memcache protocol, does it? Instead of talking about REST and SOAP, let's talk about local / remote transaction contexts and the number of remote procedure calls (RPC) required for optimistic / pessimistic locking. Partitioning and hashing. JDG has implemented consistent hashing and virtual nodes. A modern solution. It uses an implementation of the excellent MurmurHash3 algorithm (link). It does not rely on dated implementation based on centralized and / or manual hashing. Does Oracle Coherence? Instead of talking about hashing, let's talk about vector clocks.
Let's talk about rebalancing and push / pull implementations.
Of course, that is the benefit of open source software. Users can be engineers. The can understand the implementation by studying the code. That is exactly what I did. I studied the code, I modified the code, I created and submitted patches, and I engaged in discussions with Red Hat engineers on implementations details. With proprietary software, users can only be users.
Asking how fast someone has flown will not reveal how much they know about planes.
Are you familiar with all of the projects that I have been on? I ask because I'm uncertain as to why you would describe them as "stupid POCs". I do not think that the engineers at CBOE or any of the other organizations that I have collaborated with would appreciate you calling the work that they put into production "stupid POCs". I know I don't.
How am I "improving the reliability" of JBoss Data Grid by identifying the functionality that both JBoss Data Grid and Oracle Coherence provide? Do you not believe that JBoss Data Grid has implemented A LOT OF features? The functionality descibed in this post represents nearly all of the features and benefits listed in the Oracle Coherence data sheet (link). JBoss Data Grid lacks a few features provided by Oracle Coherence. Oracle Coherence lacks a few features provided by JBoss Data Grid. Would you say that Oracle Coherence has not implemented A LOT OF features because it lacks a few features provided by JBoss Data Grid?
Oracle Guest
No! It just had integrated a couple open-source existing technologies into a new ecosystem and productized in a minimum level to take some money from the customers with subscriptions. Nothing really new, innovated, creative or respectable. The type of thing Red Hat likes to do: take existing technologies, combine them and make some money.
What are these open-source, existing technologies that you are referring to? Could they be Infinispan? Of course they exist, Red Hat created them. It would be hard to productize something that does not exist. I find it both disrespectful and insulting to Red Hat engineers to describe their work as not new, innovative, creative, or respectable. You said "take existing technologies, combine them and make some money". Interesting. Is that not what Oracle did with Tangosol Coherence? Oracle purchased their data grid. Red Hat created its data grid.
Oracle Guest
You really knows to play with words, starting with the usage of the word "nearly" :)
You forgot some key features that only Coherence has like: Elastic Data (off-heap and SSD storage of data), distributed GC against any type of storage and cache layout, ability to handle thousands of GB being able to handle even terabytes of data. Don't came say to me that with on-heap allocation and regular JVM like HotSpot (or OpenJDK which is even worse) you could allocate terabytes of data. Native SDKs for C/C++ and .NET, Continuous Queries, support for many AppServers rather than only JBoss, integration with Java EE 6 using @Resource annotation, monitoring and management capabilities both integrated with the product and with other external tools like Enterprise Manager, integration with CEP world to enrich events and being the clustering enabled mechanism to handle fail-over scenarios, security features that could deal with scenarios of authentication, authorization, SSL and load-balancers (Eg: BigIP) integration. Pre-built filters and a powerful query language that could make easier for the developers to interact with the cache instead of force them to write Java code, support for Hibernate, Toplink, EclipseLink, GoldenGate, etc. Thousands of pre-implemented scenario patterns in the product and externally with the incubator strategy started by Tangosol and now owned by Oracle. Oh and of course: support for a high performance serialization strategy and a highly scalable TCP/IP implementation like TCMP. Not mentioning that support for InfiniBand based networks.
I admit that off-heap storage is an interesting concept. However, I question how practical it is. I would not recommend storing a TB of data on a single node with or without off-heap storage. I recommend partitioning physical servers into multiple virtual servers. It increases node portability while reducing the effects (e.g. rebalancing) of adding or removing nodes. JDG supports Java EE integration with both @resource and @inject. Does Oracle Coherence not support @inject? JDG includes management and monitoring as well. JDG clients are smart clients. It is not practical to load balance requests. Can you point me to a list of these "thousands of pre-implemented scenario patterns"? JDG supports both high performance serialization (JBoss Marshalling) and a highly scalable TCP / IP implementation (JGroups). However, JDG does not require developers to write additional code to use high performance serialization unlike Oracle Coherence and Portable Object Format (POF) (link). I will give you Infiniband, but it may not matter for long (link).
Update: I thought when you referred to off-heap storage that you referring to off-heap memory. I had not realized that "off-heap storage" is the new marketing term for "disk storage". It turns out that Elastic Data is marketing for "overflow to disk" (link). This was a featured provided by Ehcache 10 years ago. It's a feature provided by JDG. You mentioned 1TB of data. However, Elastic Data can only support up to 100GB per node. It is not a persistence solution. It does not support eviction. It should not be used with aggregation (i.e. map / reduce) or entry processors.
Oracle Guest
All of the "unique" features provided by JDG are not considered by real customers, independent analysts like Gartner, Forrester and IDC as really important. Are features that just align with the Red Hat strategy to force its entrance in the Big Data world, which on the other hand is a terrible strategy because to a real Big Data strategy Red Hat lacks A LOT OF technology stacks compared with real Big Data vendors like Oracle, EMC and IBM. Just an example, even Oracle does not consider Coherence as its Big Data strategy. When Oracle talk about Coherence, they're talking about caching, grid and in-memory computing scenarios, which fits perfectly to elastic data grid technologies.
It find it funny that justify the lack of features by stating that they are not important to analysts. Will you go on record as stating that Oracle Coherence will never implement JDG features that it lacks? Software evolves. New features become standard features. Personally, I think data grids will continue to incorporate features provided by NoSQL implementations. Eventual consistency comes to mind. What is a "real' customer"? Is there another kind of customer? What do these features have to do with Red Hat's big data strategy? Did you see the Red Hat big data announcement (link)? It was quite clear on what is and what is not our big data strategy. Just as Coherence is not Oracle's big data strategy, JDG is not Red Hat's big data strategy. We too place our data grid in the context of in-memory distributed data and parallel processing. I would expect a data grid to "fit perfectly to elastic data grid technologies" as it is, after all, a data grid and one of the defining characteristics of a data grid is that it is elastic. However, there is some overlap between in-memory data grids, NoSQL, and big data platforms. They all distribute data and implement parallel processing. The provide data locality. As such, in-memory data grids fit perfectly inside of broader big data solutions.
