GWT Hosted mode on 64bit linux

GWT for linux is build against 32bit architecture. It contains some SWT/GTK 32bit modules. So if you try to run it with 64bit java it failsException in thread “main” java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/tools/sdk/gwt/gwt-linux-1.5.3/libswt-pi-gtk-3235….

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR

You have two choices. Find 64bit SWT/GTK modules with same build version (3235 in this case) – good luck! or download 32bit JRE.

I chose second option and it took me 3 mins to resolve the problem.
Find proper JRE version on Oracle site I suggest bin file instead rpm. It unpacks jre to own dir. Move that directory to some convenient location (it doesn’t matter where). Edit gwt.properties *and set java.executable* to java exec located in 32bit JRE.
Now run your GWT hosted mode and be unstoppable developer!

You may have some warnings from GTK, such as

/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/menuproxies/libappmenu.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
(GWT:351): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load type module: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0
/menuproxies/libappmenu.so
**

But it has no consequences for me, so far…

Some sources say that you should set an environment var:

export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1

to block bugs in X display layer but I don’t know what does it mean :)

In this case I had to hadle with GWT version 1.5.3 (old corporate project)

Distributed scans with HBase

HBase is by design a columnar store, that is optimized for random reads. You just ask for a row using rowId as an identifier and you get your data instantaneously. Performing a scan on part or whole table is a completely different thing. First of all, it is sequential. Meaning it is rather slow, because it doesn't use all the RegionServers at the same time. It is implemented that way to realize the contract of Scan command - which has to return results sorted by key. So, how to do this efficiently?HBase is by design a columnar store, that is optimized for random reads. You just ask for a row using rowId as an identifier and you get your data instantaneously.
