I can easily wait for Riak Search to do this
http://groups.google.com/group/mongodb-user/browse_thread/thread/c2563a8566591a30/b3d19f21675a899e
- instead of mongodb. Does this deployment I have in mind make sense:
I'll get a medium (or large) Linode box for the big dataset bucket.
Hopefully you can give me an idea about how much RAM I'll need for
that. This is batch-generated data. It takes time to generate, but
(once added) it will not change. Because of that I'd like to save some
money and not replicate it. I plan to have 2 other small Linode servers
and run a Riak cluster of 3. Can I tell Riak to keep the big bucket
exclusively on the big server? It will be used only for queries. So if
the server crashes, I can just reboot it, expecting the same data back
up. Because it's a single-node bucket (if that's even possible to have
in a cluster), I probably still won't be "linking" to it from other
buckets (so when it fails, the impact is minimal). Or maybe I should
keep it in a separate (single node) cluster anyway?
Cluster separation means I can run the smaller cluster elsewhere. The
Joyent + Riak news is very exciting! I couldn't afford to put the big
bucket dataset on it (another reason to have 2 clusters) and I'd have to
go with the smallest SmartMachines for starters. Would 256 MB RAM be
good enough (just for Riak)? What kind of load can that handle? I'm
also tempted to just run everything on Linode. It's about 3 times
cheaper (as far memory goes) and the upgrades are less dramatic. Would
you recommend that (for low-budget)? I imagine there will be an easy
(Linode -> Joyent) Riak migration path...
