In my personal opinion, the database will grow and keep growing. So instead of looking at means to make things smaller, I think we should look at enabling even more storage. Couldn't geographical "shards/segments" be a solution? Like, keeping a database for Europe, Asia, North-America and so on that are glued together in a smart way, but allow for downloading partials straight from the main databases? And might it be smart to create a more distributed database? When I look at the hardware, there are currently 3 database; karm, ramoth and katla and it seems all 3 are in the UK.
Not intending to start an off topic, but this is just my opinion. 2018-01-21 12:05 GMT+01:00 Oleksiy Muzalyev <oleksiy.muzal...@bluewin.ch>: > On 21.01.18 10:04, Martin Koppenhoefer wrote: > > > On 21.
