The Biggest MySQL Cluster, Ever?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday May 28, 2003 @04:29AM from the an-RDBMS-that-needs-a-diet dept.

ExcerLee asks: "Our team is going to build a MySQL (load-balancing and fail-over) cluster for the Cluster World Expo in the end of June. This cluster is going to have at least 10 nodes, and will use dual-opteron systems from Polywell Computers and SuSE Enterprise Linux for AMD64 from SuSE. While we are working on this hefty cluster, we wonder if this is the biggest MySQL cluster has ever been built. I googled with terms like 'biggest mysql cluster', but didn't find much." If you've run a MySQL cluster before, how large was it and how well did it perform? Krow: I have been told of much larger clusters then this; Slashdot DBs total 6 machines with 18 processors, and LiveJournal has one of the most complicated clusters I have ever seen set up.

Why would they think that? by Hanashi · 2003-05-28 04:30 · Score: 4, Insightful

IT environments are so complex today, why would anyone think only 10 of anything is "the biggest"?

Are you planing to write some documentation of this work and showing it to internet?
