“就是你最闹”
最近在对现有的搜索引擎进行分布式的改进, 回顾以前阅读过的 google file system 的文章时发现google的思维和我们平时固守的思维很不一样, 可以说很多在我们看来是有一些"偏激"的,可是正是由于这些偏激, 才导致google与其跟随者的不同.
以下为几个例子:
1. google认为, 所有的硬件都是容易产生故障的, 因此google认为故障是必然的, 不产生故障才是偶然现象. 这个想法和我们通常的意识是相反的.
2. Google认为, 一旦写入, 再也不删除和修改. 这点上google认为修改和删除会对系统造成潜在的伤害, 例如文件的不连续性, 文件定位的困难..
3. Google将Linux的 file system的block更改为 64M , 也就是说, 写文件的最小单元是64M, 而不是我们通常的512字节, 两者整整相差了128000倍.
4. Google认为修复是没有必要的, 当一个服务器出现问题的时候, 撤下来, 换上另外一个 google unit(google 单元)即可, 因为维修的成本远远大于直接上线一个全新的服务单元的成本. 说来容易, 其实只有当google结构真正实现高冗余和分布式这样的操作才可行, 而这些正是google的核心.
当我们设计一个系统的时候, 我们最简单的做法通常是会根据需求对已有的一些经验进行匹配, 这个过程中我们通常走的是近路,而且我们的经验常常会束缚我们的想法, 没有抛开经验进行全新的分析和设计, 也自然就难以有所创新.
Oilman beat me to the punch posting this one. Yesterday, Yusuf Medhi, MSN SVP, asked us to invite people to join the US MSN adCenter Pilot. I am going to extend the invitation to apply to all of our loyal blog readers. We want all of you to have a shot. See below for the invite and information on how to apply.

From: Yusuf MehdiAs you know, we launched MSN adCenter --our next generation advertising platform -- in France and Singapore last month. This was an important first step to delivering our global vision to connect advertisers to consumers in a more meaningful way.
Now, as we prepare to launch the US pilot of MSN adCenter, we need your help in getting your friends and family to apply to participate in the self-service offering for small-to-medium businesses. This pilot represents a unique opportunity for small and medium businesses to be among the first to experience the more powerful tools and wide-ranging benefits of MSN adCenter. Our paid search offering will help advertisers:
- Learn by accessing comprehensive data to plan more strategic campaigns,
- Connect by using advanced demographics to target the right audience at the right place and time, and
- Refine by making meaningful changes on the fly with features for greater flexibility and control.
If you know a business-owner who would be interested in advertising their business on MSN Search, please forward this email to them and encourage them to apply to participate in the US Pilot by completing our online registration form at http://advertising.msn.com/adCenterPilot/89620.asp.
Please note that entry in the US pilot is by invitation only. We will select participants on a rolling basis from those you refer and who express interest. During the US pilot, MSN adCenter will be delivering text-based advertisements on up to 25 percent of MSN Search traffic; the remaining traffic will continue to be served through our partnership with Yahoo.
I hope that you will support this important initiative by sharing this information with your friends and family. We look forward to serving their advertising needs and gathering their valuable feedback on our products and services.
thanks,
Yusuf
