sooli # Hi there, I just read some articles about riak, i'm a mongoDB user | |
it looks very nice, but I have a question about deployment | |
Each node don't have the same data right ? | |
If I remove a node, data will be dispatched on other nodes ? | |
what about if there is no enought space ? | |
seancribbs # sooli: Riak doesn't store everything in memory | |
and its distribution model is very different from mongo's sharding | |
sooli # I know, about space, I meant HDD available space | |
seancribbs # well yes, but that's the same with any database | |
sooli # ok I will test riak on my next node.js project ! | |
seancribbs # frank06's client looks pretty awesome, and technoweenie's too | |
but to your original question, if you add a node you gain disk space | |
so if you are running out of space, you can pretty much just add another one | |
sooli # ok | |
seancribbs # also keep in mind you're going to use (total data size * replication factor) | |
amount of disk space across the whole cluster .if you're very concerned about usage and you | |
can handle a little less availability, use a lower N value | |
sooli # Yep ! Thnx |
