Greetings, earthlings of the year 2010! I've traveled back in time to share with you some of the technologies that system administrators operate in the future. Chances are you know what a cache is and how to tune it. In the future, there will be glorious things such as "bloom filters," "distributed hash tables," and "NoSQL databases." I will reveal what they are and (more important) how to tune them. (This will be an informal talk with a lot of hand-waving.)
