Will nebulex support replicating cache partitions?

[queer]

I'm sorry if this has been asked before; I couldn't find it with a quick search.

My question is pretty much just the title. I have a real use-case for wanting to be able to replicate partitions - as a full replication à la #15 would require too much RAM usage - and I also don't have the brain power time/knowledge to write a partition replicator that I would have any confidence in. I'm also somewhat curious if this effect can be created by just running two Dist caches per node - I feel like it might work but also might just double the data being stored on each node with no real gain.

Never mind; I think my problem would be more suited to something like riak_core.

@queer about your question, yes, Nebulex will eventually implement replicated topology via #15 (adapter).

Indeed, actually memory consumption is one of the downsides of the replicated topology.

NP, thanks for the interest :)!! Replicated topology impl is in progress now (we hope to have a first draft very soon), and I'm thinking to implement a mnesia adapter, which will give us the ability to setup different topologies, not only full-replicated but also partitioned topology with better failover mechanism using replicas (via mnesia fragments maybe?).

Indeed, riak_core is another option to implement it – actually, it would be nice to have an adapter using riak_core :)

As it turns out, I've come full-circle back to looking at Nebulex, as I've not been able to get riak_core working 😅

😄 Yeah, get riak_core working may be a bit tricky. If you want to continue with riak_core, perhaps I have a couple of projects that might help: erlbus v0.1.0 and west. But anyways, the mnesia adapter is in progress, I hope to publish a draft version very soon.
