Every month or two, I restart my search for a good distributed database system. I think I’ve found one that sounds good this time around, except that it’s an add-on to a specially-packaged version of PostgreSQL.
Don’t get me wrong … I really like pgsql. My problem is the “specially-packaged” part there.
At any rate, while looking around, an easy way to do up a generic HA (and prospectively HP) database management system came to me. Now the problem is working up the motivation to actually implement it. I’m writing up the basic concepts nowish.
