Hi all. Apologies if I'm not using the mailing list correctly - this is the first time I'm posting to a mailing list.
We're in the process of redeveloping our systems using Riak, and will be using five nodes initially. Let's call these nodes riak1 through to riak5. Our read/write/delete distribution is weighted more towards reads than writes, with few deletes (if I have to hazard a guess, I would say 60/35/5 read/write/deletes). A technical decision has been made to ensure that all writes are sent to riak1, and all reads are done from riak2 through riak5. The read hosts are selected completely at random. Apart from the obvious write availability concern, is there any performance benefit or penalty to be had from writing to a specific node, and reading from the rest? I haven't been able to perform a test on this myself, so any input from the community would be appreciated for the time being. Thanks in advance, Geoff _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
