In my previous blog post I explained what the split-brain problem is for elasticsearch and how to avoid it, but only briefly spoken about how it manifests. In this post I’m going to expand on what actually happens to your indexing and query requests after the split-brain has occurred. As I’m sure you’re already aware, […]
Apportable (a much better alternative to Phonegap) and AFNetworking 2.0
On October 16th I attended CocoaHeads, an iOS developer meetup that is organized every few months by Peter Robinett of Bubble Foundry and other volunteers. Every time it’s hosted at a different location. It was previously hosted at Spil Games, Xebia and NOS. This time it was hosted at eBuddy. The formula is simple: great […]
Windows Phone 8 – C# vs. Java
Welcome back to another brand new Windows Phone 8 blog! After I explored the UI and checked out the IDE it is now time to take a look at the programming language: C# or “C sharp”. I want to focus purely on the language itself and compare it to the language I know best: Java. […]
Hippo CMS Favorite Folders Plugin
After doing a number of big projects with Hippo CMS, I came up with the idea of creating a plugin. I’m always looking for ways to optimize the user experience as I think user experience is one of the most important parts of a product. Hippo allows you to store your content in a folder […]
Checking return values in Java
The other day I made a stupid coding error. It took me the better part of an hour to track it down. We all have those moments. Blame it on a bad night’s sleep, a brain fart, or perhaps the fact that your colleague at the next desk has been whistling that tune from Gotye’s […]
From the trenches: Rendering Twitter Bootstrap form inputs for Spring-MVC with FreeMarker macros
This is the first entry in a new series of what we hope will become a regular appearance on our Trifork blog: “from the trenches”, with blogs that explain in a no-nonsense just-the-tech fashion how we applied certain tools, technologies, libraries and frameworks in our own projects to solve real-world challenges that we faced while […]
Introducing a Query tool as an Elasticsearch plugin (part 1)
In the past few weeks I have been working with Elasticsearch. I was missing a plugin to look at the data, create queries and evaluate different facets. That was when I decided to start working on a plugin that enables you to do just this. I have been working on AngularJS together with Twitter Bootstrap, […]
Searching with the elasticshell
So as promised here is a sequel to my previous post Introducing the elasticshell. Let’s start exactly where we left off… What about search? We of course need to search against the created index. We can provide queries as either json documents or Java QueryBuilders provided with the elasticsearch Java API, which are exposed to […]
Introducing the elasticshell
A few days ago I released the first beta version of the elasticshell, a shell for elasticsearch. The idea I had was to create a command line tool that allows you to easily interact with elasticsearch. Isn’t elasticsearch easy enough already? I really do think elasticsearch is already great and really easy to use. However, […]
Axon Framework 2.0 Released!
After laying the ground work for this release about a year ago, we now proudly announce the next major release of Axon Framework! The 2.0 release is a big step forward compared to the previous version, as it contains a thorough restructuring of components, making it even easier to build scalable and extensible applications.
