digitalmars.D - D in the cloud with cassandra ?

Hi.

I looking into making a website for the cloud
and I was wondering if anyone have tried D in connection with
amazon EC2, Google app engine or similar cloud service ?

I am also planing to use a column store as Apache's Cassandra
have anyone tried it with D ?

Knud


PS.) I have been away from the D list for 4 years so this might be a
stupid question, but skimming trough the change log for dmd noticed
references to ICE.
What does ICE stand for ??

I cannot help you with this.

ICE stands for 'internal compiler error', eg. an assertion failure in 
the compiler.

As far as I know, the »low-level« Cassandra API is based on 
Thrift. This means that you should be able to get started pretty 
easily, as there is a D implementation of it. It has been 
included in the official repository trunk – give me a shout if 
something doesn't work.

I've been using the D support in Thrift in the official 
repository in my database testing. I've had no trouble using 
Thrift in D to talk to Cassandra and Hbase. It's quite 
straightforward and easy to do.

The one thing I've had to change is when Thrift names a variable 
"version". Since that's a keyword in D I just go in a rename it 
in the generated D sources.

Hi guys.

Thank for the comments.

Nice to know that someone have had the D-Cassandra combo working.

You can take a look on Azure VM (linux or windows).

Most of blob storages provides a rest api than can be easily 
implemented.

ICE - internal compiler error.

It's pretty new and has not yet started commercially but should 
so in the coming months.
Red Hat's OpenShift Platform might catch your needs.
I am not fully sure if it is capable of doing all you want, 
especially the Cassandra thing but a search for 'openshift diy 
cartridge' should bring you further.
OpenShift is no IaaS but a PaaS but gives you choice on what you 
want to run as your cartridge as long as the binary runs on a x64 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux and speaks http.
