I think multiple sources can make things easier. If your various sources are relatively independent (and independent summarized data is acceptable) then you'd do well to have each source write to its own logical database. They can start out living on the same node, but by picking such an easy way to shard, you'll have more flexibility with replication later should some of those sources outstrip the ability of a single node to absorb writes. -- Chris Anderson http://jchris.mfdz.com
