Optimizing postgresql table for more than 100K inserts per second

• Create UNLOGGED table. This reduces the amount of data written to persistent storage by up to 2x.
• Set WITH (autovacuum_enabled=false) on the table. This saves CPU time and IO bandwidth on useless vacuuming of the table (since we never DELETE or UPDATE the table).
• Insert rows with COPY FROM STDIN. This is the fastest possible approach to insert rows into table.
• Minimize the number of indexes in the table, since they slow down inserts. Usually an index on time timestamp with time zone is enough.
• Add synchronous_commit = off to postgresql.conf.
• Use table inheritance for fast removal of old data:

What is sh

sh (or the Shell Command Language) is a programming language described by the POSIX standard. It has many implementations (ksh88, dash, ...). bash can also be considered an implementation of sh (see below).

Because sh is a specification, not an implementation, /bin/sh is a symlink (or a hard link) to an actual implementation on most POSIX systems.

// # Mocha Guide to Testing
// Objective is to explain describe(), it(), and before()/etc hooks

// 1. `describe()` is merely for grouping, which you can nest as deep
// 2. `it()` is a test case
// 3. `before()`, `beforeEach()`, `after()`, `afterEach()` are hooks to run
// before/after first/each it() or describe().
//
// Which means, `before()` is run before first it()/describe()

Elasticsearch: updating the mappings and settings of an existing index

Note: This was written using elasticsearch 0.9.

Elasticsearch will automatically create an index (with basic settings and mappings) for you if you post a first document:
