Hi, I came across this thread in the Erlang group and thought the Riak team might find it interesting.
Please forgive me if its not relevant to Riak Kind Regards Neville ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joel Reymont <joe...@gmail.com> Date: Oct 25, 12:56 am Subject: couchdb performace 10x: using NIF for file io To: Erlang Programming Simply switching to NIFs for file IO seems to have improved CouchDB write performance more than ten-fold. Compare the old graph http://graphs.mikeal.couchone.com/#/graph/62b286fbb7aa55a4b0c4cc913c0... to the new graph http://graphs.mikeal.couchone.com/#/graph/62b286fbb7aa55a4b0c4cc913c0... I was under the impression that the Erlang IO subsystem was highly optimized but there seems to be no limit to perfection. NIFs are a giant black hole that will subsume Erlang code as performance has to be improved. Start at the lowest level and keep moving up. All that will be left of Erlang in the end is 99.99999% uptime, fault tolerance and supervision... of optimized C code. It's swell and I'm all for it!
