Hi - many thanks for making this technology available.

From a quick reading of the documentation, it appears that the HiveDB library assumes that a single Java app server will connect to multiple MySQL database servers.

Do you have any resources you could link to that discuss the pros and cons of this ‘partition routing’ being done in the app server .vs. earlier (such as an Apache reverse proxy with mod_rewrite)?

Hi MikeD,

I’m not sure that I understand your question correctly. So, if I’m answering the wrong question forgive me.

The primary difference between HiveDB’s partition by key and a load-balancing scenario like a reverse proxy is that HiveDB is designed to scale storage capacity rather than even distribute incoming load across a number of servers. So, they serve different purposes.
