Is it possible to set up a BaseX server as a clustered database (where data is synchronized over the servers by BaseX)? For example on two servers where a client session can be set up with "host1,host2". If one of the hosts fails then there is immediate fault tolerant failover to the second host (url). If this is possible is there an example available (couldn't find anything in this direction on GitHub)?
Hello Raymond,
Sorry, but this feature is currently not available. It is requested quite frequently on the mailing list (not just replication and failover management, but the whole distribution of a database (e.g. for performance reasons)) and we see the demand of the users. It is actually part of my master thesis, but unfortuanetly due to lots of work for customer projects, I didn't proceed much (i.e. not at all) in the last couple of weeks/months. I hope to work on this major feature more in the future - As always, sponsorship for such a feature will certainly speed up the development time as we can spend more time on this.
Cheers, Dirk
