可能分片现有的ArangoDB数据库？

Question

I have one simple question. If I develop now my game on single ArangoDB database, and if it grows big, would it be possible to extend my existing database/collection with coordinators and shards included with redundancy?

Thanks, Vili

Answer 1

you will be able to use arangodump to get a dump of your non sharded database.

You actually get two files per collection:

• the payload, one json document per line (*.data.json)
• the collection description (*.structure.json)

You then could modify the collection description to configure more than one shard plus its parameters , and restore it into a cluster setup.

You may however need to re-tune your queries for optimal performance in the clustered situation. You should definitely calculate that you first need to test-drive your application with the new setup.
