Feed: Databasejournal.com - Feature Database Articles. Author: . Typical big data applications have a load phase, where a snapshot of data is extracted from operational systems, transformed and cleaned, and then loaded into your big data appliance. Analysts and data scientists can then execute business analytics (BI) queries against the data store in search of patterns and potential marketing opportunities and cost savings. One disadvantage of this architecture is that your appliance becomes more like a large data warehouse, in that it does not contain the most up-to-date data. IBM now provides an option to configure its Db2 version 11 ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Severalnines; One of the cool features in Galera is automatic node provisioning and membership control. If a node fails or loses communication, it will be automatically evicted from the cluster and remain unoperational. As long as the majority of nodes are still communicating (Galera calls this PC - primary component), there is a very high chance the failed node would be able to automatically rejoin, resync and resume the replication once the connectivity is back. Generally, all Galera nodes are equal. They hold the same data set and same role as masters, capable of handling read ... Read More
