Tridge’s Clustered TDB

At LCA I’m currently in Tridge’s session on CTDB – Clustered TDB. This is a clustered version of his little database library, for clustered Samba.
Due to the different semantics it has a different API from TDB.
There’s some very interesting stuff in there – obviously, it’s not a general purpose database. It’s asynchronous, event driven. No locking across the network. It aims for speed rather than reliability. In the case of Samba, it can afford for that specific data to be lost in extreme situations. It’s not file data!

Brian, did you see this stuff already?

  1. No I had not… but I am now looking at it.

    Not enough on the website for me to tell anything about it 🙁

  2. Did you look at http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_%26_Clustering ? Also, you may check out current tridge’s bzr tree out of http://samba.org/~tridge/ctdb, it contains current prototype code. Also, tridge has started Samba4 integration last week.
