With Ferret you can scale reads horizontally: you can have multiple read servers on a single index. You can only have one write server on a single index or you'll risk data corruption. Another strategy is partitioning: having separate indices for buckets of data. Each index could run on it's own server or cluster of servers. -- Roderick van Domburg http://www.nedforce.com -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
