Scads: Scale-independent storage for social computing applications

We are currently focusing our efforts on the Performance Insightful Query Language portion of the project. Some more detail on the ideas and some initial results will be presented at SOCC in June. The paper can be found at: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~franklin/Papers/socc10armbrust.p...

The current state of the code is that it is pretty much Research-Ware (i.e. probably not stable enough to be useful outside of the lab). However, as the project matures we will definitely be open-sourcing any useful components that are developed.

For instance, checkout a project by an undergraduate in our group that implements the record serialization we will be using for the system as a scala compiler plugin. http://code.google.com/p/avro-scala-compiler-plugin/
