Episode 162: Project Voldemort with Jay Kreps

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.
