If you want a quick overview of the InfiniDB architecture and feature set, check out Part 1 of an article I wrote for the MySQL Dev Zone.
Part 2 of the article should post tomorrow and will have examples of bulk load operations and queries so you can see how InfiniDB works. Let me know what you think. And be sure to download InfiniDB and kick the tires yourself.

First time I heard about Galera on Percona Performance Conference
2009, Seppo Jaakola was presenting "Galera: Multi-Master Synchronous MySQL Replication
Clusters". It was impressed as I personally always wanted it
for InnoDB, but we had it in plans at the bottom of the list, as
this is very hard to implement properly.
The idea by itself is not new, I remember synchronous replication
was announced for SolidDB on MySQL UC 2007, but later the product
was killed by IBM.
So long time after PPC 2009 there was available version mysql-galera-0.6, which had serious flow, to setup a new node you had to take down whole cluster. And all this time Codership ( company that develops Galera) was working on 0.7 release that introduces node propagation keeping cluster online. You can play with 0.7pre release by yourself …
[Read more]Hi all. It's been quite some time since my last article on the new replication system in Drizzle. My apologies for the delay in publishing the next article in the replication series.
The delay has been due to a reworking of the replication system to fully support "group commit" behaviour and to support fully transactional replication. The changes allow replicator and applier plugins to understand much more about the actual changes which occurred on the server, and to understand the transactional container properly.
The goals of Drizzle's replication system are as follows:
I got a chance to sit down with Calpont's new VP of Products,
Robin Schumacher last week to discuss the announcement of their
new open source column-oriented database, InfiniDB. To listen to
the interview, click on the embedded link below.
Robin has also posted part one of a two part technical article on
InfiniDB in the DevZone. You can check out the article here.
You can also get "up close and personal" with InfiniDB when Robin
delivers a free webinar on the advantages of column oriented
databases for analytics, high performance query systems and data
warehousing next month. Register here.
