That's about the rights of it. As I was reading your message I did some quick math and sure enough you already put that same number down. I've heard told that the max size for any Erlang network, of which Riak is most assuredly, is 200 Erlang VM's. Extrapolating from there, considering that I've also heard told that a good sizing rule of thumb is 10 vnodes per node, you find yourself with ~2000 vnodes. Accounting for another wives' tale that the ring size should be powers of 2, 2048 looks to be the upper bound.
Wives' tales, rumors and general misinformation aside, I've not tested those numbers in any way whatsoever but I would love to see an EC2 script give it a shot. -Alexander @siculars http://siculars.posthaven.com Sent from my iRotaryPhone On Sep 18, 2013, at 3:44, pseudo-n...@laposte.net wrote: > I have seen mentioned that 2048 and higher could importantly increase the > volume of gossiping, what is your experience with it? _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
