Once, when our team was designing Oozie workflow implementation, the question was raised about how to handle so-called “race conditions”. One of our newly designed workflows had to be run few times simultaneously, and the data, it was working with, had to be consistent.

Simply speaking, it didn’t wait until previously running one was finished.

Oracle Service Bus 11g has quite basic support to build/deploy projects with Maven. In our production environment we use OSB version 11.1.1.6, and OSB projects are developed using OEPE.
There’s quite complex and non-straight procedure for building projects using Maven (actually it is done by installing OEPE on build server and running specific ANT scripts from Maven pom.xml), so we decided to find out more convenient way and to create new build script with several optimizations.

It is quite natural to use STB for Scala based projects and at the same time to be compatible with "enterprise-friendly" artifacts repository like Maven Nexus. However what is smoothly and effortlessly done in Maven, can cause a lot of frustration with STB. One such empirical integration fight between Nexus and STB took me several hours to figure out how to publish binary into internal Nexus repository

While working on the Hadoop project which utilized Hive tables over HBase we have discovered peculiar behaviour of the Hive Table creation in the QA environement when DDL statement would hang for half a minute and evetually fail with the errors like this:
14/05/20 21:26:34 INFO client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation: ZooKeeper available but no active master location found.
14/05/20 21:26:34 INFO client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation: getMaster attempt 9 of 10 failed; no more retrying.

Oracle Service Bus is an Enterprise Service Bus playing integral and probably the most important role within SOA platform. One of the core features of an Enterprise Service Bus is a protocol transformation abilites when integrating heterogeneous systems into Enterprise Architecture. Hadoop is quickly becoming "de facto" standard for BigData Enterprise architecture. And if Hadoop is treated as part of Enterprise "envelope", then Data ingestion into Hadoop can be rendered as data flow integration pattern which makes Service Bus a natural architectural option.
