I gotta wonder how Clustrix compares to this. Also is this similar to using a SQL layer with Cassandra.

- jdf 14y agoClustrix relies on an Infiniband cluster interconnect, so the latency is several orders of magnitude smaller. This makes distributed transactions across shards much quicker at the cost of requiring more expensive hardware. Cassandra's query language, CQL, is not really comparable since it only supports such a small subset of SQL. Also, Cassandra uses eventual consistency in place of doing distributed transactions.
- omi 14y agoI find that on eBay, used 10GBPS infiniband switches have been pretty damn cheap, so are the cards. Cables are more expensive though.
