I was there last year. I don’t disagree, pretty sales-free from what I saw. Good luck!

We managed to keep things at all five past XLDB events pretty close to sales-free, it is very different from Strata in that respect. Did you attend any XLDB events in the past? It is my intention to suppress the sale-aspects at the tutorials to a very low level as well. We will see how it goes!

Hi Jacek. I sat in a R + data mining tutorial at Strata and it was misery. A vendor’s half-hearted attempt to educate and promote themselves. It was painfully lacking in both regards. I felt Oracle’s would be similar. The Cloudera one sounded overly introductory for my tastes. Where I think Brobst might have right intentions, it does not strike me as insightful content. Any way, that’s my perspective. Yea, the guy is no longer at eBay, glad you were able to track him down.

Please tell me more about the tutorial you didn’t like at strata (I know which one you are talking about , and I will make sure the one at xldb is better. Still working on sponsors, so don’t draw the conclusions too early , the person I used to work with on sponsorship at eBay is now at a different company and they will sponsor!

I believe I saw a release note for a patch that went production yesterday indicating they have addressed Block Not Replicated problem. I believe it has to do with the async nature of calls involved. Hopefully this is issue is resolved and I can move onto the next set of problems…
