A few days back, reading the article on the Moore's law, I
thought it is not too difficult to extend this for an analogous
situation, e.g. the amount of data being cached by a search
engine like Google also grows exponentially. With changing times
we need to have solution that would adapt to the changing data
requirements and availability solutions like virtual
infinite scale-out like cloud. Even though virtualization
is not exactly a database concept, it's not long when we
will have it as a standard for RDBMS. This article is however
about using MySQL replication to scale out reads and make
it fault-tolerant.
MySQL replication is essentially asynchronous i.e. it
doesnot guarantee zero latency between the master and the
slave(s). This, by extension means that in case of a
master crash, data may be lost if we decide to promote one of the
slave to be the master and that is why while scaling …
