Million Query Track - Knowledgebase Acceleration
Million Query Track http://ir.cis.udel.edu/ million/
The Million Query Track serves two purposes.
First, it is an exploration of ad-hoc retrieval on a large collection
of documents. Second, it investigates questions of system evaluation,
particularly whether it is better to evaluate using many shallow
judgments or
fewer thorough judgments and whether small sets of judgments are
reusable. Participants in this track will run up to 40,000 queries against a large
collection of web documents at least once. These queries will be
classified by assessors as "precision-oriented" or "recall-oriented".
Participants can, if so motivated, try to determine what the query class
is and choose ranking algorithms specialized for each class.
The task is a standard ad hoc retrieval task, with the added feature that queries will be classified by hardness and by whether the user's intent is to find as much information about the topic as possible ("recall-oriented"), or to find one or a few highly-relevant documents about one particular aspect ("precision-oriented").
Here are the query types:

Wresting with java on running processes
Take away of a couple of hours of wrestling with java: Java is stupid in taking care of running external processes and loses track. I executed around two million system processes, to get there on big data processing.
(pool-5-thread-5) java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread
Also generated error was: not enough resources to run the next processes.
The fix:

Myth For Loop O(n) but O(n^2)
What's the time complexity of
Contrary to the notion of that a simple for loop should be O(n), the above example is O(n^2). The reason being
