Subject: Re: [Sisuite-devel] Atomic write in si_monitor
A definitive solution to solve the scalability problem could be
to have
multiple hierarchical monitor servers... anyhow this is not a
very
usable solution at the moment... :-)
With the current
implementation maybe we can improve performances having
all the data in
memory, instead of using a file (as Erich said), but
I'm not sure about
that... the kernel should cache the file if it's
strongly used and the fs
overhead shouldn't be too big... and what about
using a DBMS for the backend,
instead of an XML file? In perspective
this could be a better solution, but
for now, maybe, the temporary file
solution could be enough, in particular if
we can remove the lock file
that IMHO is the real bottleneck now. Obviously
we need to do some tests
before...
Cheers,
-Andrea
