[infinispan-dev] DIST: Replication group formed of nodes in different sites

[Galder Zamarreno]

Hi,

Just a heads up wrt 
http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4240216#4240216

What this guy is asking is very similar to what Amazon Dynamo already 
provides where the replication group is always formed of nodes located 
in different geographic sites.

If there was an option such that each node in a replication group is 
located in a different site, we'd have a solution where all the sites 
are active at the same time and we could potentially direct clients to 
the nearest site.

This could be something we provide instead or on top of 
http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/ReplicationAcrossDataCentres. This 
wiki and solutions discussed here focused on backing up, asynchronously, 
to an offline, or standby site, in case the other one suffered a major 
catastrophic failure.

Regards,
