Highly Scalable

SEPTEMBER 18, 2012

Scalability is one of the main drivers of the NoSQL movement. These developments gradually highlight a system of relevant database building blocks with proven practical efficiency. In this article I’m trying to provide more or less systematic description of techniques related to distributed operations in NoSQL databases.

A common question that I get is why do we offer so many database products? To do this, they need to be able to use multiple databases and data models within the same application. Seldom can one database fit the needs of multiple distinct use cases. Seldom can one database fit the needs of multiple distinct use cases.

NoSQL databases are often compared by various non-functional criteria, such as scalability, performance, and consistency. At the same time, NoSQL data modeling is not so well studied and lacks the systematic theory found in relational databases. Document databases advance the BigTable model offering two significant improvements.

To make data count and to ensure cloud computing is unabated, companies and organizations must have highly available databases. A basic high availability database system provides failover (preferably automatic) from a primary database node to redundant nodes within a cluster. HA is sometimes confused with “fault tolerance.”

The main reason behind this is that MySQL is a relational database system (RDBMS), and any data that is going to be written in it must respect the RDBMS rules.
