the idea of geograpically distributed database is useless from my POV
- jimktrains2 13y agoWhy? Some background one your thoughts would be helpful. It (probably) won't be ACID compliant, but it'll be extremely useful for most use-cases.
- ghostdiver 13y agoSorry:) Not planning to have database distributed all over the globe and even if I had to distribute the data I would do this on application level with tools like RabbitMQ.
- jimktrains2 13y agoBut once you write to Rabbit, you don't know that it'll make it to _any_ db. At least with MM replication you know it's somewhere, and short of disk corruption, you should be able to retrieve it?
- ghostdiver 13y agoI have 8 years experience with Postgres and I already know that a lot of cool built-in features just do not work in production, under heavy load. Usually I have to make some logic inside application in order to protect myself from postgres-driven fuck up. That's why I am sceptical about this new cool and ambitious built-in MM replication.
- einhverfr 13y agoExamples please? I am aware of hard corners in places, and rough spots, but some clear discussion might be helpful.
- asdasf 13y agoYou sound an awful lot like a troll. I have more experience with postgresql than that, and it is literally the single least problematic major software project I've ever used.
