Is this an established term for this? I haven't found it used all that often. infoAnarchy uses the term Distributed file storage, though neither have become a highly used buzzword AFAIK. anthony 11:49, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

So anyway, "distributed data store" seems as good a name for it as anything, but it'd be nice to at least know the origin of the term.


What exactly is the difference (if any) between a distributed file system and a distributed data store ? If the difference is so small that it can be explained in a single paragraph, perhaps it would be better to merge the two articles, and put that paragraph in the unified article.

I want to build a fault-tolerant wiki ( http://wikifeatures.wiki.taoriver.net/moin.cgi/FailSafeWiki ). Which of these systems should I use?

Splitting the article?

The notion of distributed data store has two meanings: a distributed "database", and a peer network. I am not sure whether to split this article up into two sections, each explaining one meaning of this notion. What is your opinion? Sae1962 (talk) 13:16, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are these two instances of data distribution so special? The page should discuss the general issues (replication, consistency, location, indexing) and explain where the examples given (and others, e.g. RAID) fit into the overall space. DenisHowe (talk) 14:20, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Along DenisHowe's lines, think this article should be very general -- define it, note why they exist (redundancy, scaling to lots of data or high query/insert rates) general issues to deal with as DenisHowe said (adding and removing nodes, finding the right node(s) for a query, handling failed nodes and errors, limits to consistency), and link to examples/more specific types. I'm not sure it should be split into "peer-to-peer" and "not peer-to-peer" because the key advantages/issues apply to both, though (say) Skype deals with things differently from Dynamo.24.7.67.251 (talk) 03:08, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NOSQL/SQL

Why this "distributed data store" definition concerns only contemporary "buzz" words, not RDBMS as well?

How is Oracle is not distributed? http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/ds_concepts001.htm http://www.oracle.com/au/products/database/300461-132370.pdf

How is MySQL is not distributed? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL_Cluster

How is PostgreSQL is not distributed? http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Replication,_Clustering,_and_Connection_Pooling

How MS SQL Server is not distrivuted? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc966448.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188721(v=sql.105).aspx

PS If the author of this article is a big fan of NOSQL and stuff, I appreciate that, but still let us keep being objective and unbiased. Any data storage that allows you to keep data on multiple machines (using replication, sharding or any other approach) is a distributed data storage. And almost all well-known RDBMS' support that nowadays.

Adding Crate to list of Distributed non-relational databases

Would we be able to add Crate to this list? I work for them, but we are a fully open source project. Let me know if you have any objections. ChrisChinchillaWard (talk) 07:59, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisChinchillaWard: Do you mean CrateIO? Sounds like relevant to me and there already is an article on it. While there are restrictions for editing by people who are involved with the project (WP:PSCOI), but this change sounds good. -- intgr [talk] 10:01, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Intgr: Thanks, I will wait a few days to see if anyone does object… Just in case, but I would think it's unlikely :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChrisChinchillaWard (talk • contribs) 14:41, 12 June 2015‎
