No such thing as 'stable hardware' at scale.
- StreamBright 8y agoThere is, just the error rate is different between a SAN backed openstack cluster vs AWS for example. EC2 is reliable compare to what hw just described above.
- viraptor 8y agoOk, but then there's also no such thing as no corruption at scale. If you accept imperfect hardware, you will get errors written to the drive. A single node of a database will get corruption by definition in that case. We're taking about RocksDB specifically here, so it is only one processing node. How did you expect it to behave instead?
