Add a more pragmatic FAQ on network scenarios

Open coffeemug opened this issue 12 years ago • 1 comments

Here are some questions that often come up:

  • if one runs rethinkdb on multiple nodes, is fault tolerance built in?
  • can i read/write to various nodes at the same time?
  • is rethinkdb eventually-consistent?
  • is multi-datacenter replication supported?
  • can insertion/deletion/reads be done on separate nodes?
  • can insertion/deletion/reads be done on separate nodes during network partitioning?
  • what happens when a master dies? does it automatically pick a new master?
  • what happens when the master comes back up?

We already have the answers in http://rethinkdb.com/docs/architecture/, but it takes some reading to get to them. We should have a more straight forward faq/answers to these questions so we don't have to answer them over and over again.

Also, this is loosely related to #10.
