No. Once your latency goes beyond single digit seconds, performance will probably collapse. Too many subsystems would time out. in theory it could be made to work (with terrible performance, and extremely long commit-waits due to having to wait until the remote planets get back to you), but I wouldn't architect a planetary spanning distributed database this way. We probably would have to go back to the drawing board and start from scratch.
- therealmarv 9y agoThanks for the long answer. Much appreciated. The question came into my mind when reading some of graphics and specifications.
