I am thinking about how to possibly replace an existing system that has heavy I/O load, low CPU usage, with riak. Its a file storage system, with smallish files, a few K normally, but billions of them.
The architecture, I think, would be one riak node per disk on the hardware, and probably run about 16 riak nodes per physical machine. Say I had 4 of these machines, which would be 64 riak nodes. With something like this, if I set W=3 as a CAP tuning, I would want to make sure that at least 2 of those writes where on 2 physically different machines, so in case I had a hardware failure, and it took out a physical machine, I could still operate with the other 3 machines. Is something like this possible with riak? enjoy, -jeremy -- ======================================================================== Jeremy Hinegardner jer...@hinegardner.org _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
