10gen, a company which offers enterprises a big data database built off of MongoDB, has raised $20 million in financing, led by Sequoia Capital and with participation from 10gen’s other existing investors Flybridge Capital and Union Square Ventures. This brings the company’s total funding to over $30 million. Similar to the way Cloudera commercializes Apache Hadoop, 10gen offers a commercialized version of, and training and support for the open source database hosting NoSQL platform MongoDB. MongoDB is an open source, document-oriented database designed with both scalability and developer agility in mind. Instead of storing your data in tables and rows as you would with a relational database, in MongoDB you store JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas. The goal of MongoDB is to bridge the gap between key-value stores (which are fast and scalable) and relational databases (which have rich functionality). 10gen allows companies to scale databases that store and process massive amounts of data. As Merriman puts it, 10Gen allows companies to be ‘nimble and get things done quickly.” For background, 10gen was founded by DoubleClick Founder and CTO Dwight Merriman and former DoubleClick engineer and ShopWiki Founder and CTO Eliot Horowitz As Merriman tells me, many companies that are dealing with large amounts of data use legacy systems like Oracle. But the problem comes when you need to scale, and buying more servers can be expensive and a challenging task. And as big data and the cloud continue to infiltrate the enterprise, 10gen and MongoDB have experienced major growth. The company now powers major projects more than 400 customers including Disney, Foursquare, Ericsson, Viacom, Telefonica and SAP. In...
“The only way to achieve the impossible is to believe it’s possible.” – from “Alice in Wonderland” Eduardo Saverin – Facebook legend living in Singapore Tham Yuen-C Straits Times Site’s co-founder set up a software development firm here last year, but has maintained a low profile. The other Facebook legend – the one who fell out with co-founder Mark Zuckerberg – has set up a software development company in Singapore. Mr Zuckerberg is chief executive officer of the world’s most popular social networking site. His former collaborator, Mr Eduardo Saverin, 28, is one of three people behind Web technologies company Anideo, with offices in Singapore and Miami, Florida. The Brazil-born billionaire is said to have been living in Singapore since last year, and the Singapore outfit of his firm was registered under his name in October last year. His two partners are fellow Harvard University graduates, one of whom had worked with him on a job search site in 2005. Since technology site TechCrunch posted a blog last Thursday about him being in Singapore, netizens – here and abroad – have been speculating about his whereabouts. A film, The Social Network, based on the story of the two co-founders, is currently showing in cinemas around the world. Mr Saverin is portrayed in the movie as the more affable and charming character, in contrast to its depiction of Mr Zuckerberg as a socially inept geek who is also the more cunning of the two. Mr Saverin was Mr Zuckerberg’s partner in 2004 when, as Harvard students, they started thefacebook.com, a website that evolved into Facebook. But the duo fell out...
Personally, I feel that this merge is a good thing for both Lucene and Solr: Solr users get the latest Lucene improvements faster and releases get streamlined. Lucene users get access to Solr features such as faceting. The in-sync trunk allows new features to make their way into the right place (Lucene vs Solr) more easily and duplication is minimized. Bugs are caught earlier by the huge combined test suite. More number of committers means more ideas and hands available to the projects Other Lucene based projects can benefit too because many Solr features will be made available through Java APIs. There are a couple of things to be worked out. For example, we need to decide where the integrated sources should live and whether or not to sync Solr’s version with Lucene’s. All this will take some time but I am confident that our combined community will manage the transition well. via shal.in What’s a good news. Solr have been provided Enterprise Level support by lucidimagination.com. Big corporates using Solr: AOL, Comcast Interactive Media, IBM, Netflix, LinkedIn and MySpace. I believe that the future of Solr is...
