ndb clusters

Monday, July 31st, 2006

So, MySQL AB has a huge chunk of new documentation on the NDB API.

Short Story: Semi-sleepycat like API available, but its replicated/clustered and everything magically. [Example]

Brian Aker was at the memcached BOF at OSCON, saying how it is way cool, and could be used in some places to replace memcached.

But, what I haven’t found is anyone talking about using the ndbclient API in large scary production environments. Is there anyone out there really hammering it?

Infact, a Google Search for “ndbclient” only returns 111 results right now, none of which look too great.

It seems like it could be a great solution instead of using application level partitioning and replicating Berkeley DB in some use cases. I don’t mind being given a low level API and having to build my application level logic on top… It’s how Sleepycat has worked for 20 years.
