Guys Give the IEBC time Anyone who has worked with systems will tell you sometimes shit hits the fan ... and you fix it IEBC has 5 days .... On Wed, Mar 6, 2013 at 9:41 AM, Njoroge Tito <titonjoroge@gmail.com> wrote:
Put in perspectives:
The data set: about 33,000 polling stations. 6 positions being contested for. Presidential race had 8 candidates.
Just for presidential race, thats about 270,000 unique results to be populated in a database. 270,000 in 2 days and we have had significant failure.
Even if you multiply that number by 6 for other positions, assuming an average of 8 contestants per seat, that number comes to less than 2m entries in a database.
Equity bank has more than 5m customers. Safaricom has 15m subscribers on mpesa.
Even when you think about it in terms of transactions, the number of transactions goes down significantly.
This is a real shame for IEBC.

Who said scaling MYSQL is necessary when the cheque and traffic comes once every 4 years?

I hear, the 'weed' tells me one had to login to the same server(database) to send the results. Am not sure they did run tests with 30,000 concurrent users so the db kept giving way, halafu mnajua zile logs za mysql on error. They filled the disk like crazy! -- just speculating -- I in no way know these guys! Then I can imagine the conversation

Still the data amount is small even for processing. What amount of data does say bank systems process on a normal working day. Its bigger than what IEBC will process.
I believe we have skills that can handle that system. Let's give IEBC benefit of patience they sort themselves out. Best Regards,
Dickson.
