There isn't an RDBMS mostly because I have an irrational prejudice against them. In this case, the content is mostly static. The Hadoop jobs process collection of source documents -- a few dozen GB, a big ol' mess of PDF, XML, JSON, even WordPerfect! -- and, many hours later, output two things: 1) the Solr index, and 2) a few million HTML files. Everything you see on the site comes from one of those two. There is no run-time data to persist.
When I need a DB, I'll probably use Amazon SimpleDB. By the way, I've been using Clojure for the Hadoop/back-end code for over a year. The front-end used to be Ruby on Rails, I switched it to Clojure a few months ago. -Stuart On Apr 7, 3:11 pm, Allen Rohner <aroh...@gmail.com> wrote: > > It's deployed on an Ubuntu server on Amazon EC2.
