For example, he kind of has a bone to pick with Cassandra, which is probably justified. But from what little I know, one of the features of Cassandra is that it's designed to scale pretty much to infinity. That may be true of a couple of the others, but for some (like CouchDB) it isn't a design goal at all.
- kkovacs 16y agoGood point, and it's not there since I only wanted to speak from experience; especially with rumors of Cassandra scaling problems at Reddit and Digg. But sure thing, "infinite" scaling is probably best done with the Dynamo-like stuff like Cassandra and/or RIAK.
- DennisP 16y agoReddit runs Cassandra with just a few nodes. Cassandra scales up well, but doesn't scale down as well: http://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/c2spc/reddits_may_2010_state_of_the_servers_report_or/c0ptl28 http://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/c2spc/reddits...
