Interesting to me was noting that:

  • they just got around to this 8 months ago, and they’re fscking Facebook (which means you can wait)
  • they’re still doing all writes to a single datacenter
  • they’re hacking an object-level mark/sweep into the MySQL replication stream suggesting a certain parable of a hammer and nails.
