Hi Yixiao,
If you have a clustering software, just read the documentation (I am
sure you will see round-robin there). If you don't have any clustering
software, well, I don't know if BigCouch has any, but to create one it's
not something one can attach to a post (at least I wouldn't because I
have no information about your cluster). You can have an idea of what is
round-robin from the wikipedia for example
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin at computing and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_scheduling). Mainly it's about
dividing your flux of incoming data into pieces and distributing them in
a circular way to all the nodes (just to describe the strategy in simple
words).
Cheers,
CGS

Hi all,
Has anyone used BigCouch to build CouchDB clusters? I'm following BigCouch
readme to do so, and I'm stuck here:
'Because every node can handle requests equally, you may want to put a load
balancer in front of the cluster and set up a round-robin strategy for
distributing incoming requests across all of your cluster's nodes'
I don't have any idea of how to put a load balancer, could anyone kindly
tell me how to do so? Thanks,
yixiao
