Gluster users - Mar 2015 - GlusterFS for a SQL database

Hi, I searched the archives and all entries are 4+ years old.

*** Is GlusterFS suitable/good for a relational SQL database?

I'm using a spin-off of Postgresql, but this version has:

- NO indexes - so its not super random access
- Most reads and writes are sequential
- A single node writes to the db files
- Multiple nodes may read db files

Thanks
Jay

Hi Jay,

It may not be the best fit, but it should work.  Try it out?  Probably 
the write latency across the network will be your bottleneck.
