The Spider Storage Engine http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/The_Spider_Storage_Engine
This Thursday (October 15th, 13:00 UTC), Giuseppe Maxia will present the Spider Storage Engine. Here's from the abstract: Everybody needs sharding. Which is not easy to maintain. Being tied to the application layer, sharding is hard to export and to interact with. The Spider storage engine, a plugin for MySQL 5.1 and later, solves the problem in a transparent way. It is an extension of partitioning. Using this engine, the user can deal transparently with multiple backends in the server layer. This means that the data is accessible from any application without code changes. This lecture will briefly introduce MySQL partitioning, and then show how to create and use the Spider engine, with some practical examples. The talk covers the latest version of the Spider engine, which includes a condition pushdown feature that increases performance significantly. For MySQL University sessions, point your browser to this page: http://webmeeting.dimdim.com/portal/JoinForm.action?confKey=mysqluniversity You need a browser with a working Flash plugin. You may register for a Dimdim account, but you don't have to. (Dimdim is the conferencing system we're using for MySQL University sessions. It provides integrated voice streaming, chat, whiteboard, session recording, and more.) MySQL University is a free educational online program for engineers/developers. MySQL University sessions are open to anyone, not just Sun employees. Sessions are recorded (slides and audio), so if you can't attend the live session you can look at the recording anytime after the session. Here's the schedule for the upcoming weeks: * October 22: Dual Master Setups With MMM (Arjen Lentz) * October 29: MySQL scalability on SPARC & INTEL X5500 (Nehalem) (Benoit Chaffanjon) * November 12: Gearman for MySQL (Giuseppe Maxia) * November 19: memcached Functions for MySQL (UDFs) (Patrick Galbraith) * December 3: Practical Full-Text Search in MySQL (Bill Karwin) The schedule is not engraved in stone at this point.
