I may have said something along those lines. Just to clarify -- since you started this post by talking about scheduler scalability -- the main motivation for using a non-SQL backend isn't scheduler scalability, it's availability and resilience. I just don't accept the failure modes that MySQL (and derivatives such as Galera) impose. > Has that sort of thing been considered before? It's been talked about on and off since... well, probably since we started this project. > What is the community's level of interest in exploring that? The session on adding a backend using a non-SQL datastore was pretty well attended. -- Soren Hansen | http://linux2go.dk/ Ubuntu Developer | http://www.ubuntu.com/ OpenStack Developer | http://www.openstack.org/ _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
