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 + +A. MariaDB (http://www.mariadb.com) |
