The stabilization algorithm – quasardb is a distributed, peer-to-peer database based on the Chord Algorithm. It is actually much more than that, but for the purpose of this post we will focus on the Chord algorithm and one fundamental process: stabilization.
Getting your hands on quasardb has never been that easy. With just a few mouse clicks you can deploy your own quasardb server in Microsoft Azure.
Many Boost.Filesystem functions and methods (and the pattern also exists in Boost.Asio) will throw a boost::system::error_code in case of error, and sometimes it is not as obvious as you might expect, case in point:
Precision is costly – As you saw in our previous post getting a timestamp as precise as possible is expensive in precious cycles. We do it only when we really need it because we really care about writing the world fastest database.
This is the last year for Bureau 14 as we unanimously decided to rename the company to quasardb.
