Both. Fault Tolerant and orders of magnitude faster.

There are all sorts of modules to support 'sql'. This sort of testing
is going to have to wait until my (3) machine cluster is stabilized.

Yep, that is what I thought; nothing preventing jffnms from running
on a linux cluster. There are many such clusters, hadoop is probably
the most common and overly complex linux clustering technology.
Openstack, mesos and beowolf are also well known.


The really cool thing about 'apache-spark' is it is an 'in-memory'
technology. So when it is applied to streaming data, it renders
results in 'real-time'.  Figuring out how to support that
real-time display along with concurrent data writes every period
(say 3 minutes) is going to be the trick, imho.

Many distros provide binaries for mesos+spark, so setting up a cluster
is pretty straightforward (debian, centos, ubuntu, etc). I use gentoo,
so it's been another adventure preparing everything from source codes.


If anyone is interested, I'll gather up some links to show what is 
needed to run a simple linux cluster, upon which jffnms could be tested.
Mesos is the one that is currently the hot cluster-technology. Maybe the
next release of jffnms is branded, mesos-ready? (That would attract many
new folks to jffnms).
