How Facebook Will Power Graph Search

Posted by Unknown on Monday January 21, 2013 @08:01PM from the moar-power-?x-unification-error dept.

Nerval's Lobster writes "Last week, Facebook announced Graph Search, a system for searching the social network's vast collection of users, photos, and 'Liked' interests. But how will Facebook power it? The Disaggregated Rack, which will separate compute, RAM, storage, and caching functions in order to remain flexible in the face of Graph Search's changing needs. By breaking up resources and scaling them independently of each other, Facebook can scale without needing to constantly open up new servers and upgrade new hardware."

That's why the best way to search your own feed is via FQL, just set up an app as if you were a third party marketing company and it's all suddenly much easier to get to your own data.
