This seems difficult, at first glance, but really, it’s not. At all. From the time you get all your hardware plugged in to the time you’re doing some massive parallel processing, depending on your needs, can be anywhere from 2 hours to 10 minutes. And
In this first of five articles, learn what it means for software to be highly available and how to install and set up heartbeat software from the High-Availability Linux project on a two-node system. You'll also learn how to configure the Apache Web serve
You MUST have a third server as a managment node but this can be shut down after the cluster starts. Also note that I do not recommend shutting down the managment server (see the extra notes at the bottom of this document for more information). You can no
This tutorial shows how to configure a MySQL 5 cluster with three nodes: two storage nodes and one management node. This cluster is load-balanced by a high-availability load balancer that in fact has two nodes that use the Ultra Monkey package which provi
James Hamilton has published a thorough summary of Facebook's Cassandra, another scalable key-value store for your perusal. It's open source and is described as a "BigTable data model running on a Dynamo-like infrastructure." Cassandra is used in Facebook as an email search system containing 25TB and over 100m mailboxes. # Google Code for Cassandra - A Structured Storage System on a P2P Network # SIGMOD 2008 Presentation. # Video Presentation at Facebook # Facebook Engineering Blog for Cassandra # Anti-RDBMS: A list of distributed key-value stores # Facebook Cassandra Architecture and Design by James Hamilton
