Very simplistic way of doing role-based access control (RBAC) with Neo4j.

This is a very simple approach to doing role-based access control with Neo4j. It is optimistic, in the sense that all items are assumed to be world-readable unless they have specific constraints. Item visibility can be constrained to either individual users or all users who belong to a role. Roles are also hierarchical, so can inherit privileges from other roles.

First, lets create our basic example data:

Akka Cluster Implementation Notes

Akka Cluster Implementation Notes

Slightly disorganized but reasonably complete notes on the algorithms, strategies and optimizations of the Akka Cluster implementation. Could use a lot more links and context etc., but was just written for my own understanding. Might be expanded later.

Links to papers and talks that have inspired the implementation can be found on the 10 last pages of this presentation.

  2. Models and Issues in Data Stream Systems
  3. Philippe Flajolet’s contribution to streaming algorithms : A presentation by Jérémie Lumbroso that visits some of the hostorical perspectives and how it all began with Flajolet
  4. Approximate Frequency Counts over Data Streams by Gurmeet Singh Manku & Rajeev Motwani : One of the early papers on the subject.

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

  • -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
  • -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)
