Packer vs Vagrant

Difference between Packer and Vagrant.

 Packer uses provisioners to set up a base image, while Vagrant uses provisioners to set up a dev environment on top of such an base image. For example, in a company, there are two different dev teams working on two different applications, and they are required to make their apps running in the same technology stack (let's say, Java7 + Tomcat7 + CentOS6). In this case, the company may ship a base image containing Java7+Tomcat7+CentOS6 using Packer, and the two dev teams can do some further customization using Vagrant provisioning capability for each dev environment.

Very simple and to the point

Teradata meets Hadoop SQL-H

Teradata and Hadoop have been talking via Sqoop since long. In which Sqoop was used to import export data in and out of Hadoop and Teradata.

Teradata has new tool called SQL-H

SQL Hadoop which allows to connect directly to Hadoop from Teradata and perform operations.

The two links below explain all about them.

But before going to main link I will suggest you to have a quick read at Teradata architecture. ( only 2 mins read)

What is the function of

PE – Parsing Engine , parses the query entered by user

AMP –Do actiual disk operations

BYNET – Handles communication between AMP and PE

http://www.teradatatech.com/?p=103

Now comes one additional component EAH

EAH is the External Access Handler , which talks to HCatalog on Hadoop side to get information related to table

You can run queries like

SELECT Price

, CAST(Make AS VARCHAR(20))

, CAST(Model AS VARCHAR(20))

FROM LOAD_FROM_HCATALOG(

USING

SERVER('sdll4364.labs.teradata.com')

PORT('9083')

USERNAME ('hive')

DBNAME('default')

TABLENAME('CarPriceData')

COLUMNS('*')

TEMPLETON_PORT('1880')

) as DT;

Where server is details about hadoop cluster

And we are saying in Teradata , use Hcatalog and talk to Hadoop execute this query bring back the results.

There is very good presentation which explains more

Gold coin donation meaning

This post is non tech.

Please skip if you understand only 0 and 1 s.

Holiday season is here in Australia now with most of people already on 2 weeks or more for holidays.

I was looking for some volunteering event where i can participate this Christmas.

With Christmas lots of charity events are being organized , and at Town Hall station i noticed one thing.

Christmas gift packing for "Gold coin donation"

I noticed the same term being used again and again in various events.

At this lunch for charity event , gold coin donation.

At this Sikh to Give event Gold coin donation for stationary.

This struck me , what ? Gold coin , okay in my life personally i have never used gold in anyway nor i have seen gold coins.

This all made me wonder do these people really think everyone roam around with Gold coins in pocket and..... my hand went down to my pocket bringing few coins left after purchasing my ticket.

With my eyes staring at those coins i saw one glittering gem ....The Gold coin :) sitting in my hand and it was my aha moment.

They say coins of dollar 1 and 2 because of color :)  i walked away to that charity slipping all coins into the box... the lady asked if i wanted to get something packed....i just smiled and walked away to catch my train.

This made me think while on return journey back towards Glenwood pind......

Lots of things in life we already have we just need to think from different angle :)

Happy Holidays , Happy New Year
