Most here seem very familiar with postgresql; Unfortunately I'm used to other databases, and haven't messed with it for years.
I need some basic rules of thumb for setting up pg_shard (hardware).
Basically I'm looking at a single database, about 1.5TB in size; best guess is around 5 billion rows. Most of those
spread between 2 tables.
Planning to do testing, but people can't wait and want some rough specs to go with it, like yesterday.
Hardware for master? (i'll be doing at least 2)
How many workers? hardware specs for that-
how many shards per server (probably VMs), how many servers for shards?
I understand no more than 16 cores for the master (someone reported degradation for anything higher),
but still, keep the cores up on that.
Sorry; there isn't really much around for information on this; You don't have to spec it, but some general suggestions,
like X amount of memory per X amount of storage per worker would be great.
THX!
