Can you also auto-shard with rqlite, or is it only designed to distribute a single set of data among many SQLite instances?
EDIT: Looks like no: "rqlite is about replicating a set of data, which has been written to it using SQL. The data is replicated for fault tolerance because your data is so important that you want multiple copies distributed in different places, you want be able to query your data even if some machines fail, or both."
- otoolep 5y agoCorrect, the answer is no, it doesn't support that form of sharding.
- winrid 5y agoUnderstandable. Sharding is a huge can of worms in itself. Balancing, changing shard keys, changing table attributes before and after sharding... it's a mess.
- otoolep 5y agoYeah, it would distract from the key goal of rqlite -- which is a trivial to deploy, simple to operate, reliable distributed store for critical relational data.
