# Ubuntu 14.04 don't have nsenter - the straight forward way required me to install build tools and etc.

# Note - its also possible to run nsenter from a container (didn't tried) https://github.com/jpetazzo/nsenter
# start a container
docker run --name nsenter -it ubuntu:14.04 bash

Assorted distributed database readings

Context: I was asked for a list of interesting reading relating to "distributed databases, behavior under partitions and failures, failure detection." Here's what I came up with in about an hour.

For textbooks, "Introduction to Reliable and Secure Distributed Programming" is a superb introduction to distributed computing from a formal perspective; it's really not about "programming" or "engineering" but about distributed system fundamentals like consensus, distributed registers, and broadcast. Used in Berkeley's Distributed Computing course (and HT to @lalithsuresh) Book Site

Notes from courses like Lorenzo Alvisi's Distributed Computing class can be great.
