Jul 5 at 16:34 comment added Basilevs @PhilipKendall only Bittorrent with DHT is sharded. The original protocol relied on a tracker and was exclusively centralized.
Jul 5 at 11:04 comment added Basilevs @PhilipKendall Bittorrent supports only one index, which makes it more similar to filesystem than DB.
Jul 5 at 10:34 comment added Philip Kendall @Basilevs if you squint (a lot), Bittorrent is a sharded database on dynamically allocated nodes. Admittedly one with failure rates and efficiency orders of magnitude worse than tradtional databases.
Jul 5 at 10:11 comment added Basilevs I would launch a dedicated DBMS replicating node from within fat jar. The key here is to use a suitable DBMS, but do not know any would support both symmetric deployment and autoconfiguration. The greatest concern is sharding support. I beleive sharding is impossible in a scenario of dynamically allocated nodes.
Jul 5 at 9:55 comment added Basilevs rebalance or replicate its data this is ridiculously hard to do. You are effectively trying to implement a custom scaling DBMS. Do not.
