Hi.
Thanks for that.
I have some follow-up questions.
lets say that a database server has seven hard drives.
how would i handle the namespace? so, for example:
for www.somesite.com
would the database server and associated drives
look something like this:
database server:
data.somesite.com
various drives on the database server:
db1.data.somesite.com, db2.data.somesite.com, db3.data.somesite.com,
and so on...
anybody out there build a database cluster before? how
did you handle naming?
finally, I am noticing that really big sites such as yahoo and hotmail
use garbage in their namespace. So, for example, this is hotmail:
by138w.bay138.mail.live.com
is there an advantage to using a less obvious naming convention?
responses appreciated!
