Hi, If I have three nodes to set up a cluster, what difference does it make if 1) I set up three shards, with each of the three nodes being the primary of one shard, with replication running among them, so if one node goes down, the other two can fully take over; v.s. 2) if still the same three nodes, I set up six shards, still running replication among them.
I know it sounds more overhead in 2). But is there any performance gain/loss associated with either approach? I guess I am not sure what is the standard/ideal config for No. of shards/ No. of Nodes. -- View this message in context: http://couchdb-development.1959287.n2.nabble.com/bigcouch-sharding-uestion-tp7206277p7206277.html Sent from the CouchDB Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
