Yo. Here to ask a question in a bigger channel, but thought as I’m back after some absence, I might say “hi” here

@korny: how's the Jepsen'ing going?

@agile_geek: Nicely - the main problem is Aphyr is testing strange corners of the ACID world, we mostly want to poke at MongoDB client and replication options and say “what would fail if we killed the network”. So most of his examples are overkill.

The cockroachdb folks have a very useful blog post I’m stealing from: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/diy-jepsen-testing-cockroachdb/

@korny: would chaos monkey and alerts work to do that?

Yeah, we’re probably going to use chaos monkey for larger scale testing. But Jepsen is neat for small scale scenarios. Besides, I get to play with clojure

:thumbsup:

@korny: just reread your post above and thought that Kyle would probably quite like being thought of as inhabiting 'strange corners of an ACID world'

True. We put a Kyle photo up on our whiteboard - had to skip a few google image search results that might not quite be what we wanted...

Also on the subject of events - anyone else going to the Milton Keynes Java group tonight? I guess it’s more #mkclj than #C0522EZ9N ...

@korny: try asking in #C064BA6G2 - seems to have more ppl hanging out there now
