Episode 162: Project Voldemort with Jay Kreps
Recording Venue: QCon
Guest(s): Jay Kreps
Host(s): Robert
Jay Kreps talks about the open source data store Project Voldemort. Voldemort is a distributed key-value store used by LinkedIn and other high-traffic web sites to overcome the inherent scalability limitations of a relational database. The conversation delves into the workings of a Voldemort cluster, the type of consistency guarantees that can be made in a distributed database, and the tradeoff between client and the server.

I second the praise for Robert Blumen’s interviews. Some of the other SE-Radio stuff can be a bit cringeworthy – the interviewer often seems more interested in expressing his own opinions than those of the interviewees. Robert does a great job of keeping it interesting – both the Voldemort and the Spring AOP interviews I heard so far from him were excellent. Keep up the good work!
