Hi all, Earlier I posted about how my friend and I were creating a distributed data store for OSM data. We've finished our project and gotten the most difficult queries going. All of our code is freely available along with a report about our design and findings on or github wiki at http://wiki.github.com/tannewt/menzies.
As it says in our report we were able to do bounding box and regular get queries faster than the production 0.5 OSM server. We, however, did not manage to get our own instance of the OSM api running on machines we had because of a number of planet import errors. Thus, we only have a rough idea of how well we do latency wise and no idea how the two solutions differ under varying loads. Please let us know what you think. We firmly believe that distributing the data over a number of computers is a far better solution than one single supercomputer. Thanks, Scott _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
