Hello Thomas and Noel, Thanks a lot for replying.
first of all I would like you to know that I am not a hardcore technical guy who writes databases. I am a middleware consultant and a regular user of many databases (SQL as well as NoSQL). H2 is a great database with great features. I love it. The only thing i worry about that it has very limited support for clustering. I do use mongodb / cassandra at work. But they are more like "key value" stores. You can not call them RDBs. Recently I noticed in the help document that the back end file system of H2 is pluggable (Zip, flatfile etc) so the thought came into my mind that if we can use a clustered file system like (Hadoop HDFS) then we can start a H2 instance on multiple machines which uses same db file form the HDFS. I think this is yet another way to make h2 clustered and fail safe(HA) and much more. these file systems support petabytes of data in a single file. there are Java API available for HDFS. Some links may be useful to you: http://hadoop.apache.org/hdfs/ http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/hdfs_design.html http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/ List of DFS : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_file_system Hope this helps :) Regards, Abhi On Jul 5, 4:13 am, Thomas Mueller <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > > Is there any way to integrate H2 with Apache Zookeeper > > I didn't try it out yet, but I would be interested to know :-) If > somebody can tell me how to do it, I will document it. > > > Not really worthwhile in an embedded database. > > H2 is not "just" an embedded database :-) > > > If you want clustered DB storage in a SQL database, you're better off > > looking at the recent advances in the PostgreSQL > > project's clustering extensions. > > It depends on what you want to do.
