There are some posts around about various task board solutions. Besides that we use white board to sketch some designs and exchange knowledge, we use virtual board as task board and info radiator.

Simply we have a jQuery script that runs in a web browser that rotates some most important pages with our project status. These are JIRA/Greenhopper task board, Jenkins, Sonar and current app snapshot built and deployed automatically by Jenkins.

And where this board stands? In front of us, at the windowsill where every team member sees it.

What is it? An old computer with 20″ display.

Our colleagues from other project had ordered about 30″ monitor but they have our company owner in team so this was obvious that they should have bigger and better display ;-)

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.
