Walter is spot on and yes, 3 is not a good number for data nodes. The only recommended (and somewhat well tested) number of replicas is 2, so 3 would not be useful. You may want to buy another box so that do 2 replicas with 2 shards, OR just use the third node as a warm standby. -- Rob Wultsch wult...@gmail.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
