Q. What is the FederatedX pluggable storage engine?
|
|
|
|
A. It is a fork of the Federated Storage Engine that Brian Aker and I
|
|
(Patrick Galbraith) developed originally . It is a storage engine that
|
|
uses a client connection to a remote MySQL data source as its data
|
|
source instead of a local file on disk.
|
|
|
|
Q. Why did you fork from Federated?
|
|
|
|
A. To enhance the storage engine independently of the
|
|
MySQL Server release schedule. Many people have been
|
|
mentioning their dissatisfaction with the limitations
|
|
of Federated. I think the engine is a great concept and
|
|
have a sense of obligation to continue to improve it.
|
|
There are some patches already that are in dire need
|
|
of being applied and tested.
|
|
|
|
Q. What do you plan to do with FederatedX?
|
|
|
|
A. Many things need addressing:
|
|
|
|
- Outstanding bugs
|
|
- How do deal with huge result sets
|
|
- Pushdown conditions (being able to pass things like LIMIT
|
|
to the remote connection to keep from returning huge
|
|
result sets).
|
|
- Better transactional support
|
|
- Other connection mechanisms (ODBC, JDBC, native drivers
|
|
of other RDBMSs)
|
|
|
|
Q. What FederatedX is and is not?
|
|
|
|
A. FederatedX is not yet a complete "federated" solution in
|
|
the sense that other venders have developed (IBM, etc). It
|
|
is essentially a networked storage engine. It is my hope
|
|
to make it a real federated solution.
|
|
|
|
Q. In which MySQL distributions/forks/branches can I find FederateX
|
