Because (B-tree) indexes on sequentiel IDs are more efficient.

I digged some docs, I think I'll do LDAP+web for user self-servicing+SAML with Shibboleth+maybe OpenID. That will complicate the automated customer setup, but it'll cover many use cases.
Thanks for the help!
I looked at SAML, it's a possible addition to the service. It may be touchy to integrate (opensaml-java), but definitely doable.
Classic use case: org want facilitate+centralize users management on owncloud+apache webdav+other oss app on external server (internet). I only saw AD used in intranets, if orgs would expose it on external servers (with/without VPN), then I'd better find an another idea.
Orgs do really expose their Active Directory server on the internet, to integrate with external servers ?
Parchive is also a must have

If you need reliable, high-throughput REST-style APIs in Java, I'm your guy. After 7+ years of experience in server-side Java (JEE 5&6, Spring, Wicket...), I'm specializing in lightweight stacks. I love Dropwizard, JEE6, PostgreSQL, Lucene... Please email me at username at gmail.com for more infos.
I now work from home, in the south of France, enjoying a fullfilling life with my SO and my 3 weeks old daughter : I won't relocate .
My favorite coding atmosphere is like 70% N2, 20% O2 and 1% Ar.
Big desk, two large monitors, Aeron chair (I miss it :/), Logitech illuminated keyboard, G500 mouse, 21°C temp, 11 PM, nobody, no noise, just the keyboard clicks rythming the night.
It also depends of who's the target audience. I did two Show HN for a medical literature search engine and got a total of two comments. On a medical-related reddit, I got much much more comments, thanks, suggestions, etc etc.
Lot's of Java dev greatly misunderstand ORMs and the underlying SQL stuff. You can differentiate on that.
Need: Spring, EJB, JPA (so Hibernate), JSP
Nice: SQL mastering, good ORM trade-offs and inner-working understanding, good general database understanding and usage (let PostgreSQL be your friend)
But you'd also better master few pieces of software like Hadoop, Solr, Talend, Cassandra... to differentiate/specialize (try and pick what you love doing, contribute to open-source with these technologies)
I have no plans to expand to all scientific literature, unless I find a good source of structured data to work on. If there is a Pubmed equivalent for other scientific fields, please drop me a link :)
Release date and journal will soon be added in the results view under the authors.

Full-stack Java/JEE engineer, at ease with open-source ecosystems (Jetty, Tomcat, JBoss, Glassfish, Dropwizard, PostgreSQL, ...). I worked on big soul-crushing projects with heavyweight solutions (Oracle, Weblogic and co) as well as lean solutions in a fast-peaced environment (I've been the lead developer and architect for two startups).
Thanks. I'll try it soon.
Do you mind citing a stable open source ActiveSync solutions ?
Other advice: automate backups, and manually check backups.
I understand, you focus more on the startup kind of customers for now.
So it won't be official and it may break on any server update or lag in features depending on the maintainer boredom. Too bad, your db seems really nice :)
Still no official Java drivers ?

Nexus S. New Nexus screens are too big for me.
I'm also working on a (specialized) search engine. We should create the dumb fuck club :)
Reliability on prod is imho a big win for the less-sexy checked exceptions.
And that's just one example amongst thousands of others :(
javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException is also quite commonly annoying.
In "real life" you catch runtime exceptions everywhere, because well, that's what third-party libraries often throws. I hate that, especially when these exceptions occurs in prod...
Thanks. I planned to participate in the next WhoIsHiring, but Java is not loved a lot here (I did some Ruby but that's more anecdotal)
That the hardware version of the brainfuck philosophy.
RDF datastore that can be queried with SPARQL. A good friend is working on an advanced RDF client that behaves like Excel. Really powerful.
