Syncing Hyperledger Fabric StateDB (CouchDB) to Elasticsearch
Hyperledger Fabric is fully decentralized. To store world state it uses a key-value database, like for example, CouchDB. Retrieval of data from CouchDB becomes a bottleneck when complex queries are run on that database. So, ELK (Elasticsearch-Logstas.....»»
Not So Open Any More: Elasticsearch Relicensing and Implications for Open Source Search
Elastic’s actions over the years, such as deliberately mixing Apache 2 and Elastic licensed code, have shown it was shifting away from a true open source model. Continue reading........»»
Scientists awarded a Guinness World Record for the finest woven fabric
A team of scientists from the University of Manchester have been honoured with a Guinness World Record for weaving threads of individual molecules together to create the world's finest fabric, overtaking finest Egyptian linen......»»
A new way to look for gravitational waves
In a paper published today in Physical Review Letters, Valerie Domcke of CERN and Camilo Garcia-Cely of DESY report on a new technique to search for gravitational waves—the ripples in the fabric of spacetime that were first detected by the LIGO and.....»»
"Galaxy-sized" observatory sees potential hints of gravitational waves
Scientists have used a "galaxy-sized" space observatory to find possible hints of a unique signal from gravitational waves, or the powerful ripples that course through the universe and warp the fabric of space and time itself......»»
