Шардинг в Manticore Search: автоматическое распределение и репликация

На старте поисковая система часто устроена просто: одна таблица на одном сервере. Это работает, пока не случится одно из двух. Либо отдельный запрос перестаёт задействовать весь CPU, за который вы заплатили, либо одного сервера перестаёт хватать — по объёму, по пропускной способности или просто потому, что сервер может выйти из строя, и данные на нём будут потеряны.Автоматический шардинг, встроенный в Manticore Search и доступный начиная с релиза 27.1.5 , решает...
