Fundamentals of NoSQL Security
February 23, 2015
Over the last week, for a variety of reasons, the topic of security in the NoSQL space has become a prominent news item. Chief among these reasons was the announcement of a popular NoSQL database having multiple instances exposed to the public internet. From the headlines you might think that NoSQL solutions have inherent security problems. In fact, in some cases, the discussion is positioned intentionally as a relational vs. NoSQL issue. The reality is that NoSQL is not more or less secure than a traditional RDBMS.
The Security of any component of the technology stack is both the responsibility of the vendor providing the technology and those that are deploying it. How many routers are running with the default administrative password still set? Similarly, exposing any database, regardless of type, to the public internet without taking appropriate security precautions, including user authentication and authorization, is a "bad idea." A base level of network security is an absolute requirement when deploying any data persistence utility. For Riak this can include:
- Appropriate physical security (including policies about root access)
- Securing the epmd listener port, handoff_port listener port, and the range ports specified in the riak.conf
- Defining users and optionally, groups (using Riak Security in Riak 2.0)
- Defining an authentication source for each user
- Granting necessary permissions to each user (and/or group)
- Checking Erlang MapReduce code for invocations of Riak modules other than riak_kv_mapreduce
- Ensuring your client software passes authentication information with each request, supports HTTPS or encrypted Protocol Buffers traffic
If you enable Riak security without having an established functioning SSL connection, all request to Riak will fail because Riak security (when enabled) requires a secure SSL connection. You will need to generate SSL certificates, enable SSL, and establish a certification configuration on each node.
The security discussion does not, however, end at the network. In fact, for those who are familiar with the Open Systems Interconnection model (OSI), a 7 layer conceptual model that characterizes and standardizes the internal functions of a communication system by partitioning it into abstraction layers, (ISO 7498-1) there is a corresponding security architecture reference (ISO 7498-2)…and that is just for the network. It is necessary to take adopt a comprehensive approach to security at every layer of the application stack…including the database.
The process of securing a database, which is only a component of the application stack, requires striking a fine balance. Basho has worked with large enterprise customers to ensure that Riak's security architecture meets the needs of their application deployments and balances the effort required with the security, or compliance, requirements demanded by some of the worlds largest deployments.
NoSQL vs. Relational Security
As enterprises continue to adopt NoSQL more broadly, the question of security will continue to be raised. The reality is simple, it is necessary to evaluate the security of the database you are exploring in the same way that you would evaluate its scalability or availability characteristics. There is nothing inherent to the NoSQL market that makes it less, or more, secure that relational databases. It is true that some relational database, by aegis of their age and maturation, have more expansive security tooling available. However, when adopting a holistic, risk-based approach to security NoSQL solutions — like Riak — are as secure as required.
Security and Compliance
A compliance checklist (be it HIPAA or PCI) details, in varying specificity, the security requirements to achieve compliance. This checklist is subsequently verified through an audit by an independent entity…as well as ongoing internal audits.
So can I use NoSQL in compliant environments?
Without question, Yes. The difficulty of achieving compliance will depend on how the database is configured, what controls it provides for authentication and authorization, and many other elements of your application stack (including physical security of the datacenter, etc). Basho customers have deployed Riak in highly regulated environments and achieved their compliance requirements.
I would encourage you, however, to realize that compliance is an event. The process of securing your application, database, datacenter, etc. is an ongoing exercise. Many, particularly those in the payments industry, refer to this as a "risk-based" approach to security vs. a "compliance-based" approach.
Security and Riak
In nearly all commercial deployments of Riak, Riak is deployed on a trusted network and unauthorized access is restricted by firewall routing rules. This is expected, this is necessary and is sufficient for many use cases (when included as part of a holistic security posture including locking down ports, reasonable policies regarding root access, etc.). Some applications need an additional layer of security to meet business or regulatory compliance requirements.
To that end, in Riak 2.0, the security store changed substantially. While you should — without question — apply network layer security on top of Riak and the systems that Riak runs upon, there are now security features built into Riak that protect Riak itself, not just its network. This includes authentication (the process of identifying a user) and authorization (verifying whether the authenticated user has access to perform the requested operation). Riak's new security features were explicitly modeled after user- and role-based systems like PostgreSQL. This means that the basic architecture of Riak Security should be familiar to most.
In Riak, administrators can selectively control access to a wide variety of Riak functionality. Riak Security allows you to both authorize users to perform specific tasks (from standard read/write/delete operations to search queries to managing bucket types and more) and to authenticate users and clients using a variety of security mechanisms. In other words, Riak operators can now verify who a connecting client is and determine what that client is allowed to do (if anything). In addition, Riak Security in 2.0 provides four options for security sources:
- trust — Any user accessing Riak from a specified IP may perform the permitted operations
- password — Authenticate with username and password (works essentially like basic auth)
- pam — Authenticate using a pluggable authentication module (PAM)
- certificate – Authenticate using client-side certificates
More detail on the Riak 2.0 Security capabilities are presented in the Security section of the documentation, in particular the section entitled Authentication and Authorization.
With a NoSQL system that provides authentication and authorization, and a properly secured network, you have progressed a long way in reducing the risk profile of your system. The application layer, of course, must still be considered.

Relational databases are still a part of the technology stack for many companies; others are innovating and incorporating NoSQL solutions either as a replacement for or alongside existing relational databases. As a result they have simplified their deployments, enhanced their availability, and reduced their costs.
Join us for this webinar where we will look at the differences between relational databases and NoSQL databases like Riak. We will look at why companies choose Riak over a relational database. We will analyze the decision points you should consider when choosing between relational and NoSQL databases and we will look at specific use cases, review data modeling and query options.
This Webinar is being held in two time slots:
Data Modeling with Riak
January 22, 2015
In speaking with Riak users, both open source and commercial, we are frequently told that Riak's key/value model is more flexible and faster to develop against than a traditional relational database. Even though Riak is well suited for many applications, there are inevitable tradeoffs in terms of query options and data types that are available. With a key/value model, there is no concept of columns or rows, therefore Riak does not have join operations. Riak can be queried either directly via HTTP, the protocol buffers API and through various client libraries. However, there is no SQL or SQL-like language that is currently available.
Riak's key/value data model does not preclude queryability. There are several powerful querying options including:
- Riak Search: Integration with Apache Solr provides full-text search and support for Solr's client query APIs.
- Secondary Indexes: Secondary Indexes (2i) give developers the ability to tag an object stored in Riak with one or more query values. Indexes can be either integers or strings, and can be queried by either exact matches or ranges of values.
- MapReduce: Developers can leverage Riak MapReduce for tasks like filtering documents by tag, counting words in documents, and extracting links to related data.
For more information, check out the Riak documentation on Querying Data.
The table below illustrates key/value mappings for common application types. Remember that values in Riak are opaque and stored on disk as binaries – JSON or XML documents, images, text, etc. The way data is organized in Riak should take into account the unique needs of the application, including access patterns such as read/write distribution, latency differences between various operations, use of Riak features (including MapReduce, Search, Secondary Indexes), and more.
Application Type | Key | Value |
Session | User/Session ID | Session Data |
Advertising | Campaign ID | Ad Content |
Logs | Date | Log File |
Sensor | Date, Date/Time | Sensor Updates |
User Data | Login, eMail, UUID | User Attributes |
Content | Title, Integer | Text, JSON/XML/HTML Document, Images, etc. |
Consider, for example, one of the canonical use cases for Riak…storing user and session data. In a relational database, the "users" table is well known and, basically, provides a unique identifier per user, and then a series of identifying information about that user as individual columns such as:
- First name
- Last name
- Interests
- Counter of Site Visits
- Paid Account Identifier
This data can then be used to correlate or count, paid users, common interests, etc. via a series of SQL queries against the row/column structure of the users table.
Riak, in contrast, provides flexibility in how this data can be modeled based upon the application use case. It may be desirable to create a Users bucket, with the UserName (or Unique Identifier) as the key and a JSON object storing all user attributes as the value. Or, as we describe in Data Modeling with Riak Data Types, leverage the power of Riak Data Types by creating a map type for each user storing:
- first and last name strings in the register type,
- interests as a set,
- a counter for visits,
- and a flag for paid account identifier.
One of the best ways to enable application interaction with objects (a key/value pair) in Riak is to provide structured bucket and key names for the objects. This approach often involves wrapping information about the object in the object's location data itself.
For example, appending a timestamp, UUID, or Geographical coordinate, to a key's name allows for fine grained queryability via simple lookup to locate and retrieve a specific set of information. Leveraging the same naming mechanism as created for users (UniqueID as the key) enables, in a separate sessions bucket, storing the UUID append with a timestamp as the key and the session data (in binary format) as the object. In this way, using the same UUID, I am able to obtain both user and session data stored in different buckets and in different formats.
For additional information, and more complex considerations such as modeling relationship and advanced social applications, see the Riak documentation on use cases and data modeling.
Resolving Data Conflicts
In any system that replicates data, conflicts can arise – e.g., if two clients update the same object at the exact same time or if not all updates have yet reached hardware that is experiencing lag. Riak is "eventually consistent" – while data is always available, not all replicas may have the most recent update at the same time, causing brief periods (generally on the order of milliseconds) of inconsistency while all state changes are synchronized.
However, Riak does provide features to detect and help resolve the statistically small number of incidents when data conflicts occur. When a read request is performed, Riak looks up all replicas for that object. By default, Riak will return the most updated version, determined by looking at the object's vector clock. Vector clocks are metadata attached to each replica when it is created. They are extended each time a replica is updated to keep track of versions. Clients can also be allowed to resolve conflicts themselves.
Further, when an outdated object is discovered as part of a read request, Riak will automatically update the out-of-sync replica to make it consistent. Read Repair, a self-healing property of the database, will even update a replica that returns a "not_found" in the event that a node loses it due to physical failure.
Riak also features "Active Anti-Entropy," which is an automatic self-healing property that runs in the background. Rather than waiting for a read request to trigger a replica repair (as with Read Repair), Active Anti-Entropy constantly uses a hash tree exchange to compare replicas of objects and automatically repairs or updates any that are divergent, missing, or corrupt. This can be beneficial for large clusters storing "stale" data.
More information on vector clocks, dotted version vectors, and conflict resolution can be found in the online documentation in the section regarding Causal Context.
Multi-Datacenter Operations
Multi-site replication is quickly becoming critical for many of today's platforms and applications. Not only does replication across multiple clusters provide geographic data locality – the ability to serve global traffic at low-latencies – it can also be an integral part of a disaster recovery or backup strategy. Other teams may use multi-site replication to maintain secondary data stores, both for failover as well as for performing intensive computation without disrupting production load. Multi-site replication is included in Basho's commercial extension to Riak, Riak Enterprise, which also includes 24/7 support.
Multi-site replication in Riak works differently than the typical approach seen in the relational world, multi-master replication. In Riak's multi-datacenter replication, one cluster acts as a "primary cluster." The primary cluster handles replication request from one or more "secondary clusters" (generally located in datacenters in other regions or countries). If the datacenter with the primary cluster goes down, a secondary cluster can take over as the primary cluster. In this sense, Riak's multi-datacenter capabilities are "masterless."
In multi-datacenter replication, there are two primary modes of operation: full sync and real-time. In full sync mode, a complete synchronization occurs between primary and secondary cluster(s). In real-time mode, continual, incremental synchronization occurs – replication is triggered by new updates. Full sync is performed upon initial connection of a secondary cluster, and then periodically (by default, every 6 hours). Full sync is also triggered if the TCP connection between primary and secondary clusters is severed and then recovered.
Data transfer is unidirectional (primary->secondary). However, bidirectional synchronization can be achieved by configuring a pair of connections between clusters.
Full documentation for multi-datacenter replication in Riak Enterprise is available in the online documentation.
In Summary
Modeling data in any non-relational solution requires a different way of thinking about the data itself. Rather than an assumption that all data cleanly fits into a structure of rows and columns, the data domain can be overlayed on the core Key/Value store (Riak) in a variety of ways. There are, however, distinct tradeoffs and benefits to understand.
Relational Databases have:
- Tables
- Foreign keys and constraints
- Sophisticated query planners
- Declarative query language (SQL)
Riak has:
- A Key/Value model where the value is any unstructured data
- More data redundancy that provides better availability
- Eventual consistency
- Simplified query capabilities
- Riak Search
What you will gain:
- More flexible, fluid designs
- More natural data representations
- Scaling without pain
- Reduced operational complexity

Using Riak as a Document Store
January 6, 2015
If you have read about Riak, or seen a member of the Basho team present, you have probably heard the phrase "Your data is opaque to Riak." While this is not, strictly, true with the inclusion of distributed Data Types in Riak 2.0, it was a phrase that hinted at the core structure of Riak itself.
Riak is a Key Value data store.
In a relational database, data is organized by tables that are separate and unique structures. Within these tables exist rows of data organized into columns. As such, interaction with the database is by retrieving or updating entire tables, individual rows, or a group of columns within a set of rows.
In contrast, Riak has a much simpler data model. An Object is both the largest and smallest element of data. As such, interaction with the database is by retrieving or modifying the entire object. There is no partial fetch or update of the data.
Keys in Riak are simply a binary value (or a string) that are used to identify Objects. The Key/Value pair (or Object) is stored in a higher level namespace called a Bucket. And, with Riak 2.0, there is an extra layer of abstraction known as Bucket Types.
This Key/Value/Bucket model enables broad flexibility in modeling the applications data domain with Riak as the data store for persistence.
Another NoSQL model that many are familiar with is the document store. Unlike the Key/Value model the data store is aware of the structure of the objects stored. These objects, or documents, are grouped into "collections" — which is analogous to a relational "table" — and the datastore provides a query mechanism to search collections for objects with particular attributes. When the data that is being persisted is easily rendered as a JSON document, a document store can seem a natural fit. Some common use cases include product catalog data and content management systems.
The Basho Docs have a lengthy tutorial entitled Using Riak as a Document Store that walks you through the process of leveraging Riak as a document store for a CMS. There are many approaches to modeling, but the tutorial demonstrates the power of Riak 2.0 features by combining the maps data type and indexing that data with Riak Search.
When the data you are persisting can be represented as JSON, and you require the ability to query the data, Riak 2.0 is an excellent solution for persisting and modeling document data. The flexibility of the Key/Value model, combined with the power of Riak Search and Riak Data Types, provide you with a highly scalable, highly available document store with rich, full-text query capabilities. In addition, the inclusion of the maps data type means that you don't have to write complex client side resolution logic when faced with network partitions. Riak Data Types handle that conflict resolution automatically.
A scalable, available document store that is operationally simple may seem compelling enough to use Riak. But when you combine the characteristics of Riak with the multi-datacenter replication capabilities of Riak Enterprise, now you have a solution that enables you to bring your data operations closer to the end user.
Scalable, available, operationally simple, and replicated. That's the power of using Riak as a document store.

Basho Accelerates EMEA Growth, Powered by Riak 2.0
New, enhanced database and growing number of customers highlight strong year for the company
LONDON, UK. – November 20, 2014 – Basho, the creator and developer of Riak, the industry leading distributed NoSQL database, has seen a surge in deployment and a growing customer-base in EMEA as a result of the launch of Riak 2.0, the significantly enhanced version of its flagship platform.
2014 has seen significant successes for Basho, from the release of Riak 2.0 to news that Basho technology is powering Spine 2, the electronic backbone of the NHS. Basho has also seen strong growth in its EMEA customer-base, with the company working with businesses such as bet365, one of the world's leading online gambling groups, StatPro, the cloud-based portfolio analysis service, and EE, the largest mobile operator in the United Kingdom to address their critical unstructured data needs. Basho has increased its number of customers in EMEA by 38 percent year on year, and these customer wins have contributed to revenue growth from Q2 to Q3 in 2014, which was up 90 percent.
"Our decision to implement Riak was purely strategic. After a stringent evaluation process we decided that Basho's flexible, scalable database was best-suited to our needs," said Martin Davies, Chief Executive Officer, Technology at bet365. "Given the huge amount of data we process on a daily basis – from customer details to betting odds – it was imperative that we had a platform to support this. We selected Riak, and have not been disappointed with the results."
The gaming industry is becoming increasingly complex, with customers no longer satisfied with betting on a limited selection of outcomes. Now, gaming companies must offer more than your traditional betting options. For example, during football matches, it is no longer enough to offer odds on scorer or full-time result. Instead consumers are eager to bet on everything from the number of yellow cards, to corners and amount of injury time. To offer and process these options requires a huge amount of data-crunching, and in addition to the vast number of metrics and numbers processed when taking into account everything from betting odds, bets placed and the final action on each account, such businesses require a lightning-fast database to support the deluge and prevent system crashes.
Basho's growing stature in the gaming sector has been matched by its recent success in the telecommunications space. An increasing number of telco companies like EE are using Riak to replace existing systems and provide fault-tolerance and scalability for the future. Riak's strength in the industry is further highlighted by the market trend towards reducing the burden of managing complex hardware environments by providing a consolidated virtualized orchestration platform to replace much of the traditional hardware.
These recent deals highlight a strong year for Basho, while the reseller partnership with Nordicmind and its upcoming Riak Nordic Roadshow demonstrate its growing success in EMEA. Success in the region is further reflected in the appointment of Emmanuel Marchal as Managing Director EMEA, who will be leading enterprise focus in EMEA, as well as the continued work with companies such as Deutsche Vermögensberatung (DVAG), Germany's largest stand-alone financial services distributor. The financial advisors of DVAG support over 6 million customers in all questions concerning financial planning, insurance and finances.
"We knew that with the release of Riak 2.0, 2014 would be a massive year for the company," said Adam Wray, President and Chief Executive Officer at Basho. "However, the growth in deployment and the continued success of Riak was more significant than we expected – with customers responding in kind. This year alone we have made strides in several sectors, including telco, financial, gaming and healthcare, where we have helped complete a project with the NHS that could potentially save lives. Couple this with our growing number of partners, and we can happily say that Basho is going from strength-to-strength."
NoSQL Now! – More so than ever
By: Peter Coppola
We had the opportunity to stop by DATAVERSITY'S NoSQL Now! conference in San Jose last week. I was very impressed with the level of energy and the wide-ranging selection of sessions offered. According to Tony Shaw, the CEO of DATAVERSITY, the organizer of NoSQL Now, registrations were up 15 percent from 2013.
The exhibition hall was packed and lively as attendees jostled between booths. DATAVERSITY did an outstanding job keeping the show floor tightly packed with exhibitors. The industry was well represented by Cloudera (saw "Data is the new bacon" t-shirts), MarkLogic, MongoDB, Oracle and EnterpriseDB – all present as major sponsors. Between conversations, I was able to nab a nifty versatile screw-driver disguised as a pen from DataStax.
NoSQL Now sessions do rely heavily on sponsors, but with such a wide selection of tracks there's bound to be a topic of interest at any given time slot. I had a choice of the following concurrent sessions at 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday:
- Internet of Things with MongoDB – MongoDB
- Out with MapReduce, In with Spark – DataStax
- Case Studies in Search and Semantics – MarkLogic
- Just the Right Weather for our Company: How We Chose Our Data Stores – The Weather Company
- NoSQL on ACID – EnterpriseDB
I attended The Weather Company's session – not only was it the only non-vendor presenter, but the company is also a customer and big fan of Riak. The Weather Company manages five data centers that in production handle 25,000 requests per second and distribute 60 GB of data to each data center every 10 minutes. Surya Kangeyan Sivakumar took us through the journey of how The Weather Company selected its data store solutions and how it overcame the mindset of having to use its existing relational database solution just because the company had invested so much in it. Riak was selected, along with other NoSQL solutions, due to the speed and ease at which it could be stood up.
In 2015 Basho looks forward to being a more active participant in NoSQL Now.
Riak for Business Intelligence: The NoSQL difference for data warehousing and analytics
By: Jeremy Hill
Business Intelligence makes it possible for organizations to make sense of the vast amount of customer, manufacturing and competitive information they have available in order to make smarter and better informed decisions. In turn, this enables organizations to become more responsive to customer needs, increase efficiencies in manufacturing processes, and respond to significant events quickly.
Historically the data that drives business intelligence has been stored in structured formats in a data warehouse, such as customer information on how much is spent. However, this approach misses out on the value of semi-unstructured and unstructured data, like the details from a customer call or a customer tweet.
With such information missing, a complete view of the customer or business can be limited. The consequence is that an inability to gain knowledge and measure customer information means businesses can fall behind, especially in a competitive market.
Business Intelligence needs NoSQL
Having access to all types of relevant customer information – structured, semi-structured and unstructured – is an essential requirement for business intelligence (BI) to help enterprises get ahead of the competition. Unlike structured, relational data warehouses, NoSQL databases make this possible with improved availability, scalability and fast response times. NoSQL databases are ideal for BI and data warehousing not only because of the diverse types of information it can deal with, but also because they are able to deliver data at the very time it is needed.
Enabling real-time analytics
NoSQL keeps up with transaction speeds as-it-happens, enabling real-time analytics. E-commerce transactions, for example, benefit from a NoSQL database because it can make a decision about what to do next when a buyer doesn't complete a purchase. Instead of waiting 24 hours or longer for the data to move through a traditional data warehouse system, with a NoSQL system a feed goes straight from a transaction through a connecter to a NoSQL database. A sales analytics process can make a decision with the intelligence at that very minute, to consult the customer and understand the behavior in real-time, helping secure the purchase and preventing the loss of a customer transaction.
A recently announced Basho partner, Caserta Concepts, a technology consulting firm specializing in big data analytics, data warehousing and business intelligence, works with CIOs to deliver analytics solutions that support business goals. It uses Riak and Riak CS to accommodate unique client requirements across a broad range of data types – structured, semi-structured and unstructured – and provides continuous availability to keep critical line-of-business applications going around the clock. Caserta's practice illustrates the viability for NoSQL in the database revolution to take on the volume, variety and velocity of data dynamics of today's web-scale applications.
Intelligence for IoT transactions
With the vast amounts of information from Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, more business intelligence needs and use cases are at the cusp. Consider oil and gas organizations providing annual service contracts for boilers – analytics tells the business that anything beyond the second call out (or truck roll) wipes out the profit on the contract. In the connected world, NoSQL enables the next level of intelligence, which allows organizations to collect information so that, in the event of failure, they are able to determine which parts are needed in advance, eliminating the need for multiple visits. Gathering intelligence from this data also allows organizations to perform preemptive maintenance during the annual inspections to lower the frequency of unplanned, costly site visits.
With NoSQL, BI and data warehousing can become quicker and much more efficient. It allows organizations to react to events more quickly, increase customer attention, streamline the supply chain, predict customer behavior at the point it matters and predict future service calls. At the rise of big, unstructured data, NoSQL presents enormous opportunity for the future of business intelligence.
Coast to Coast Distributed Systems Meetups
March 24, 2014
When selecting a NoSQL solution, there are many options to choose from, each different and with their own benefits depending on your use case. To help you decide what the right choice for your needs may be, there are two amazing events this week where many NoSQL providers (including Basho) will be speaking.
The first is in conjunction with Ad:Tech in San Francisco. For advertisers to stay competitive in the modern landscape, the need to crunch massive amounts of consumer profile data and enable real-time bidding has made NoSQL the gold standard in database technology. That's why Basho partner, GoGrid, will be hosting the panel, "NoSQL: Digital Advertising's 'Bad Boy' Database Comes of Age" at 111 Minna Gallery. Speakers from Basho, Couchbase, DataStax, and MongoDB will be there to discuss how NoSQL is helping advertisers push the envelope now, and what is to come in 2014. This panel will take place on Wednesday, March 26th at 5:30pm. Registration is free and tickets are still available.
The other is hosted by the New York Software Engineers. This meetup, "The Battle of Distributed Databases – Data Modeling in the Enterprise Ecosystem," will address some of the challenges the NoSQL community faces in enterprise adoption. Casey Rosenthal, Director of Professional Services at Basho, will be speaking about Riak and its adoption with 30% of the Fortune 50. This meetup will take place on Wednesday, March 26th at 7pm at Foursquare's office. Be sure and register for this free event.
To see how enterprises are using Riak, check out the Users Page.
In addition to these meetups, Basho will be at multiple other events and conferences. A complete list can be found on our Events Page.
"Beyond NoSQL – Distributed Databases in Production" Recording Available
December 23, 2013
A few weeks ago, we hosted a webinar with 451 Research entitled, "Beyond NoSQL – Distributed Databases in Production." This webinar featured Matt Aslett (Research Director at 451 Research), Bobby Patrick (EVP and CMO at Basho Technologies), and Wes Jossey (Systems Engineer at Tapjoy).
During this one-hour webinar, we discuss the history of NoSQL, the current NoSQL landscape, and then dive into Basho's Riak. Wes Jossey also presents a case study from Riak User, Tapjoy, about how they use Riak as the cornerstone of their data management strategy. Finally, we wrap up with a look at what's to come with Riak 2.0.
If you weren't able to attend this webinar (or would like to rewatch it), the recording is now available. Simply register here to receive a link to watch the recording: info.basho.com/BeyondNoSQL_Recorded.html
Infographic: Down With Downtime
December 18, 2013
Downtime, planned or unplanned, is no longer an option. It can have a dramatic impact on revenue and lead to negative customer experiences and attrition. Luckily, distributed NoSQL databases (such as Basho Riak) are designed to provide high availability, even during network partition or server failure. This means there will never be an excuse for downtime again.
To help demonstrate the cost of downtime and how Riak can help, we have put together an infographic, "Down With Downtime." Zoom in by clicking the image below.
If you are interested in getting started with Riak, you can download the latest version here. We also offer Tech Talks to help you and your team evaluate Riak.

As Emily Litella used to say on Saturday Night Live, "It's always something!"
Kim Jong Un, the baby-faced dictator of North Korea, tore up the non-aggression pact with South Korea and threatened to immerse Washington in a sea of flame. Thank goodness for Dennis Rodman. Rodman is doing international diplomacy these days, visiting North Korea, becoming Kim Jong Un's BFF. Returning from Pyongyang he brings a message from KJU, namely if President Obama would just call him it could all be worked out. As Rodman said, "He don't want to do no war, y'know." Rodman said the pudgy potentate was a humble man. I guess throwing parades for yourself has that effect.
Justin Beiber, mop-topped Canadian pre-teen heart-throb, just turned an ancient 19 and partied late into the night in London; turned up two hours late for a concert where he complained that it was his worst birthday ever. Somebody neglected to give him a Grammy. See, all Canadians are not good mannered or pleasant, just most of them.
The popular press is all a' Twitter (as is Twitter) with what a cow Ann Hathaway is. Hathaway is a talented young actress who won an Oscar for an amazing performance as an emaciated prostitute in Les Miserables. Hathaway has this problem; she keeps winning awards because she is so darned talented and cannot get the balance between joyful acceptance, a sense of entitlement and thanking the correct number of agents and accountants in her acceptance speeches.
Mitt Romney surfaced again to tell Chris Wallace that he sure wishes he was in the White House where he could fix this mess over the sequester. Ann Romney says she hurts for us all because he's not there. How do we explain to Mitt that the Tea Party People didn't like him and over 50% of the country shared that view, but for different reasons? His earnest explanation that African-Americans, Hispanics, Gays and almost anyone who wasn't a captain of industry, or a certifiable WASP, didn't understand was incredible. As a certifiable WASP, I assure you I fully understood what he was saying.
To Bradford, England, where a man dressed in a full Batman outfit delivered a wanted burglar to the local police station, then stuck around to make sure he was properly booked, before disappearing….on a bicycle. This underscores the cost of gas in England, making running the Batmobile prohibitive and raises the question: how does Commissioner Gordon's authority extend to Bradford, England?
Our President confused Star Trek and Star Wars, setting off howls of nerdian anguish as a mind-meld got confused with something else. I would suggest that POTUS stick with clarity saying, "Them sumbitches too dumb to get it, doncha know. Dang, they needs a good kick in the britches, might get their minds right." Then again, quoting Larry the Cable Guy, might not help either.
We are minus a Lieutenant Governor. She abruptly resigned, apparently too cozy with the operators of an Internet café operation which was allegedly engaging in money laundering and gambling. You think?
We have enjoyed a conclave in Rome. The cardinals picked a Pope from Argentina who doesn't do the throne thing, prefers to ride the bus over a Popemobile, carries his own luggage and pays his own hotel bills. Do you get the sense they just elected John XXIII all over? A kindly, gentle man who turns the Roman apple cart over and lets the sun shine in and the gospel shine out?
Hugo Chavez' corpse was going to be preserved and put on display permanently. However, it's not to be. Seems they waited too long or it could be that they noticed the shelf-life of these pickled potentates is brief? Just ask Stalin, just another stiff under the Kremlin wall these days and somebody stole Eva Peron's corpse, though one cannot imagine why. At this point only Lenin and Chairman Mao are still being kept fresh as a daisy after all these years. Maybe the powers that be in Venezuela figured him for a tourist attraction. "Would you rather go shopping or check out the corpse of El Commandante?" "You know, the mausoleum would be fun. Let's do that!"
Here in the USA we embalm political careers in a different manner; ask Sarah Palin, she was at CPAC. She did a good set, long on funny lines, short on consequence or real ideas. Which brings us to CPAC, perhaps best described in the words of George Orwell, "... a kind of exciting heresy-hunt—a leaping to and fro of frenzied witch-doctors to the beat of tom-toms."
The Daily Show is on hiatus, but if you look at the news just right it doesn't really matter.

Johnycque March 30, 2012 5:36 PM No one is faster than Hamilton and no one is smarter than Button. Combine both of them and you have the best driver in F1. Alonso. Even if Hamilton is not perfect though he is a great fit for any team even with Pirelli tires. Reply Report abuse 10 agree 10 disagree
Racehound - Unregistered March 30, 2012 5:41 PM duh oh yeah Johny....Button was real smart in Malaysia....and Hamiltoon was the fastest!! Take another look...Alonso won!!! 8 agree 8 disagree
ronsgoldenboy March 30, 2012 5:46 PM Last Edited 1068 days ago Alonso won due to a pissed jack-man and two not very clever chappies who don't know how to move sticky tape from a wheel. Reply Report abuse 6 agree 11 disagree
107SS2009 March 30, 2012 6:03 PM Ron, Alonso won because Perez didn't manage to beat him.Lulu who started on pole could only get third because according to him he needs to up his pace. You will do much better if you follow F1 instead of watching it! Reply Report abuse 9 agree 8 disagree
DBL March 30, 2012 6:14 PM Every team will say they are not interested while a driver is still contracted to their current team. Even if he's looking to move nothing will be said until at least September, Italian GP is a usual date for things to start slipping out. 1 race is a long time in F1 and anything can happen between now and the end of the season. Anyone who thinks that teams have already decided to not consider Hamilton have either not been following F1 for long or they are anti-Hamilton trolls. Reply Report abuse 12 agree 2 disagree
richard March 30, 2012 6:26 PM sunny. you left out caterham who also do not want him!ronnie. lulu should do well in indy, due to the new design of cars that are not able to interlock wheels etc and so are more damage resistant. Reply Report abuse 6 agree 9 disagree

In the Chicago suburb of Skokie, one out of every six Jewish citizens in the late 1970s was a survivor--or was directly related to a survivor--of the Holocaust. These victims of terror had resettled in America expecting to lead peaceful lives free from persecution. But their safe haven was shattered when a neo-Nazi group announced its intention to parade there in 1977. Philippa Strum's dramatic retelling of the events in Skokie (and in the courts) shows why the case ignited such enormous controversy and challenged our understanding of and commitment to First Amendment values.
The debate was clear-cut: American Nazis claimed the right of free speech while their Jewish "targets" claimed the right to live without intimidation. The town, arguing that the march would assault the sensibilities of its citizens and spark violence, managed to win a court injunction against the marchers. In response, the American Civil Liberties Union took the case and successfully defended the Nazis' right to free speech.
Skokie had all the elements of a difficult case: a clash of absolutes, prior restraint of speech, and heated public sentiment. In recreating it, Strum presents a detailed account and analysis of the legal proceedings as well as finely delineated portraits of the protagonists: Frank Collin, National Socialist Party of America leader and the son of a Jewish Holocaust survivor; Skokie community leader Sol Goldstein, a Holocaust survivor who planned a counterdemonstration against the Nazis; Skokie mayor Albert Smith, who wanted only to protect his townspeople; and ACLU attorney David Goldberger, caught in the ironic position of being a Jew defending the rights of Nazis against fellow Jews. While the ACLU did win the case, it was a costly victory--30,000 of its members left the organization. And in the end, ironically, the Nazis never did march in Skokie.
Forcefully argued, Strum's book shows that freedom of speech must be defended even when the beneficiaries of that defense are far from admirable individuals. It raises both constitutional and moral issues critical to our understanding of free speech and carries important lessons for current controversies over hate speech on college campuses, inviting readers to think more carefully about what the First Amendment really means.
"A meticulous and graceful narrative of one of the most gripping free speech conflicts of modern times."--Rodney A. Smolla, author of Free Speech in an Open Society
"Strum succeeds brilliantly in telling the two stories of Skokie-the constitutional struggle over free speech and the human agony and conflict that permeated it. In clear, rigorous, and vivid prose, she recreates the legal and political culture when the case arose in the 1970s and then shows how more recent intellectual theories bear on what happened. A simply wonderful book."--Norman Dorsen, Stokes Professor, NYU, and president, ACLU, 19761991
"Strum paints a remarkably complete picture of the entire Skokie controversy and helps put the debate over the First Amendment protection for 'hate speech' into meaningful perspective."--David Goldberger, Ohio State University College of Law professor and former ACLU attorney for Frank Collin and the National Socialist Party of America
"A book that students will read eagerly and that teachers will find a pleasure to use."--Melvin I. Urofsky, author of Affirmative Action on Trial: Sex Discrimination in Johnson v. Santa Clara
PHILIPPA STRUM, professor of political science at the City University of New YorkBrooklyn College and The Graduate Center, is author of numerous books, including Brandeis: Beyond Progressivism, Brandeis on Democracy, Louis D. Brandeis: Justice for the People, The Supreme Court and "Political Questions," and Presidential Power and American Democracy.

Centralized Authorization Using a Directory Service, Part II
Once you are over the initial hurdle of installing an NIS server and making your authorization data consistent, you can start enjoying the centralization. Netgroups allow for complex and fine-grained access control from one central place.
Resources for this article: www.linuxjournal.com/article/7967.
Alf Wachsmann, PhD, has been at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) since 1999. He is responsible for all areas of automated Linux installation, including farm nodes, servers and desktops. His work focuses on AFS support, migration to Kerberos 5, a user registry project and user consultants.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Corey Taylor, Slash + John 5 Added to Kirk Von Hammett's Fear FestEvil 2015 Lineup
Corey Taylor, Slash and John 5 will reportedly take part in a panel at Kirk Von Hammett's 2015 Fear FestEvil music and horror event.
Corey Taylor, Slash and John 5 will reportedly take part in a panel at Kirk Von Hammett's 2015 Fear FestEvil music and horror event.
Teaming up with Rocket Fizz, the guitarist helped create a signature brand of limeade.
Earlier this year, on March 26, several rockers joined forces for the Rock Against MS concert at the Whisky A Go-Go in California to raise funds to battle the debilitating disease. From performances by Robby Krieger of The Doors fame to Lita Ford and Cherie Currie, Bruce Kulick, Steve Stevens from Billy Idol's band and Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addition – the star-studded benefit show was a huge success.
These are busy times in the Rob Zombie camp. The band is getting ready for more touring, the release of their 'Zombie Horror Picture Show' DVD and companion book, and yes, they've somehow found time to start work on a new album.
Sebastian Bach may have left fans 'Kicking & Screaming' with his last solo offering but he's now ready to unleash his follow-up disc, 'Give 'Em Hell' on April 22 via Frontiers Records.
Rob Zombie / ex-Marilyn Manson guitarist John 5 was recently the victim of a home burglary, which left the virtuosic shredder without a portion of his beloved guitar collection.
John 5's new solo album 'God Told Me To' is set to be released on May 8, and he recently took some time to divulge the meaning behind the album title as well as talking about his work history with both the legendary Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson.

FreeBSD Works On C11, C++11 Support
Published on 09 February 2013 07:47 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
2 Comments
FreeBSD developers are working on enabling support for the C11 and C++11 programming language standards within their operating system.
Shared during the BSD track at
by David Chisnall was an update on the FreeBSD's support for C11 and C++11, the latest revisions to the C and C++ programming languages. While most of the work resides within the compilers supporting these latest standards, FreeBSD is looking to take proper use of the new features and functionality.
During the quick overview for those not up to speed on the latest ISO standards of these languages, C11 introduces features like alignment specifies, multi-threading support as part of the standard, a memory model, various cosmetic improvements to the code, static assertions, and unicode support. C++11 introduces better locale support, atomics/threads/thread-local storage, smart pointers, tuples, and various language changes.
FreeBSD system header files have already been updated to reflect the C++11 changes and their preferred LLVM/Clang compiler
already has begun its C11/C++11 support
. FreeBSD is just shipping GCC 4.2.1 (the last GPLv2 FSF GCC compiler release) and are deprecating the compiler so they aren't really concerned about the GCC support for C++11/C11. LLVM/Clang has most pieces in place while the rest should be dropped in soon. There's also some support via libc++, LLVM's own more permissively licensed C++ standard library.
In terms of the current status in broad terms for C++11 on FreeBSD, "most of C++11 works." For the latest C revision on FreeBSD, "most of the interesting bits of C11 work." However, there is still lots of missing pieces for C11/C++11 on FreeBSD that still need to be implemented. For more specific details about the current state in FreeBSD, see the

More educators report grouping students by skill level when teaching math and reading, according to a recent report by the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Some educators say that grouping is a good way to reach the diverse needs of today's learners, especially if grouping is flexible and based on regular reviews of student data. However, others argue that grouping can discriminate against minority and low-income students. Still, research shows a resurgence of this decades-old teaching method.

dc.description.abstract | Ovulation provides us with a robust in vivo model to study how the gonad contracts and releases eggs. By dissecting different molecules and signaling pathways in the process of gonad contraction, I have gained insights on how focal adhesion, phosphoinositide lipids, and cytoskeleton coordinate ovulation, a rhythmic behavior of C. elegans. Integrin plays an essential role in ovulation via the phosphoinositide signaling pathway. My studies have determined that ovulation defects caused by RNAi of pat-3/ [beta] integrin or ECM molecules is suppressed by increased IP3 signaling, demonstrating that cell-ECM interaction is essential for ovulation, which is mediated via IP3 signaling. Additional studies have demonstrated that loss of other focal adhesion molecules, pat-4/ILK and unc-112/Mig-2 causes defects in gonad sheath contraction and spermatheca dilation and disrupts gonad cytoskeleton. I have also identified one more IP3 signaling gene involved in C. elegans ovulation, which is phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5' kinase (ppk-1/PIP5K). ppk-1 is mainly expressed in the somatic gonad. Depletion of PPK-1 results in sterility and impairs gonad sheath contractility. Further analysis reveals that ppk-1 RNAi induced sterility can be suppressed by increased IP3 signaling and that ppk-1 is also linked to unc-54/myosin B, demonstrating that ppk-1 plays an important role in IP3 signaling and organizes cytoskeleton in somatic gonad. Taken together, these studies enable me to conclude that ovulation is a rhythmic cellular behavior that requires coordination of signaling paths: focal adhesion, phosphoinositide lipids and cytoskeleton proteins to induce timely release of a matured egg from the ovary to the spermatheca for fertilization. | en |

More copies of this ISBNThis title in other editionsThe Discovery of Dragons: New Research Revealedby Graeme Base
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:'Bestseller Graeme Base offers a new edition of the book that helped start the dragon craze
Includes newly discovered American dragons! Fans of Graeme Base—and dragon lovers—will be thrilled to discover this brand-new edition of the classic book of serpentology, The Discovery of Dragons, first published in 1996. Now it includes a special section on \"New World\" dragons, before now unknown. Was Bjorn of Bromme one of the greatest explorers of the Viking Age or just a simple-minded, lice-infested barbarian with a passion for beach volleyball? Could Soong Mei Ying, a thirteenth-century teenager, really have discovered the Asiatic dragons or did she just need a good excuse to leave home? Did Dr. E. F. Liebermann perish after discovering the Common Green Draak, also known as the \"Awful Gurgler,\" or was he suffering from a severe bout of jungle madness? And does Francisco de Nuevo still live today, working as an extra on Canadian television, after discovering the secret of eternal youth in 1532? The answers to these questions and more will not be found within the pages of this book—but there are a lot of great big dragons \"All my life I have been pursued by dragons. These fearsome beasts have been a constant source of inspiration and aggravation ever since I was a kid in school.\" —Graeme Base \"Astute readers will note that there have been absolutely no changes made to the original text of the book. This is due to the fact that it was completely perfect in every way. However, those same readers will be delighted and amazed by the addition of a brand-new chapter introducing a previously uncatalogued class of Dragons: the New World Dragons. \"It is important to note that the failure to include these exceptionally interesting and fully authenticated Dragons in the first edition of the book was the result of shoddy editorial work by persons unnamed and was in no way the fault of the author who knew all along that there were lots of other Dragons out there but did not want to cause a fuss at Snoisses and Bielttg Inc. by pointing out the error.\" —Prof. Rowland W. Greasebeam, B.Sc. (Serp.), F.R.Aud. (Melb.), Editor, Melbourne Praise for The Discovery of Dragons \"Stunning paintings, witty letters, maps, and a running cartoon strip are sure to delight.\" —Booklist \"Stunning illustrations of the fiery beasts.\"—The Boston Herald \"Illustrations showcase the kind of intricate detail for which Base is so well known . . . There\'s much to enjoy here, and much to propel readers to seek out every last drop.\" —Publishers Weekly' Synopsis:In this revised and expanded edition of Bases classic, dragons from around the world are described and catalogued by a group of eccentric Victorian scientists. Fun facts about dragons fill the pages of this humorous picture book. Full color.
Synopsis:A Victorian scientist, R.W. Greasebeam, presents the original correspondence of early explorers who encountered some of the world's most fearsome dragons. Base's fans will be delighted by his humorous stories and intricate renderings of these colorful creatures.
About the Author'Graeme Base is one of the world\'s leading creators of picture books, most recently of the New York Times Bestsellers Uno\'s Garden and Jungle Drums. His alphabet book, Animalia, received international acclaim when it was first published in 1986 and has sold more than two million copies. Other perennial favorites by Graeme include The Eleventh Hour, My Grandma Lived in Gooligulch, The Sign of the Seahorse, The Discovery of Dragons, The Worst Band in the Universe, and The Water Hole. In 2003, he wrote his first novel for young readers, TruckDogs. Graeme lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his artist wife, Robyn, and three wild and wonderful creatures of their own, James, Kate, and William.'
