Zones

[Jed Stafford]

I've looked everywhere I can think of, I love reading documentation as needed. But cannot find anything about how to properly configure Zones in the local.ini which is where I presume you do this in the [cluster] section with a z= from what I can gather.

Does anyone have a pointer to any useful documentation?

One of my root questions is if I have 5 zones spread around different countries, if I want to ensure a local copy in each zone, would I have z=5 and n=5? Each zone has 3 database nodes locally. So I'm thinking q=3, z=5, n=5, r=1, w=2.

I'm also not sure how to connect the zones together, is this the same as just adding nodes to a cluster?

Again, happy to read, and do trial and error. But want to at least get in the right direction. =)

Thanks,

Jed
