Awesome! Just checked the whitepaper there was a cluster with 300 machines, so all machines had to be described in configuration file that was used by master, right?

Original whitepaper is a great overview of how the system works, but devil in the details. I still have a lot of questions about implementation, for instance:

from where did master get information about chunkservers (chubby, configuration files) ? did chunkserver know about which master it belongs to? etc.

What mystery?

MyISAM days are gone, no one will seriously consider it as suitable engine in MySQL.
If you were in Russia you would know that it's not true) Most of FSB are really stupid and old fashioned. These people very far away from Tech, especially top officials. I'm not a fan of Putin either and truly believe that Russia deserves much better president with more liberal views (in a good way of course).
No one use "comrades" anymore in Russia) it's old stereotype
Do you think I'm a bot?)) Lol. Most topics on politics on HN relate to USA, and I have neither interest nor competence to discuss such things.

However, this particular news referring to my home country and I express my own opinion.

Honestly, I think it's too bold to poison the most popular opposition member even for FSB (Russian FBI). So who knows maybe the person who started it doesn't belong to Kremlin.
