Talk:Distributed data store
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is this an established term for this? I haven't found it used all that often. infoAnarchy uses the term Distributed file storage, though neither have become a highly used buzzword AFAIK. anthony 11:49, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
- 814 google hits for Distributed data store
- 666 google hits for Distributed file storage
- 483 google hits for Distributed file store
- 354 google hits for P2P publishing (what I've always called it)
So anyway, "distributed data store" seems as good a name for it as anything, but it'd be nice to at least know the origin of the term.
What exactly is the difference (if any) between a distributed file system and a distributed data store ? If the difference is so small that it can be explained in a single paragraph, perhaps it would be better to merge the two articles, and put that paragraph in the unified article.
I want to build a fault-tolerant wiki ( http://wikifeatures.wiki.taoriver.net/moin.cgi/FailSafeWiki ). Which of these systems should I use?
