How Mariadb Achieves Global Scale With Xpand -

: Tables and their associated indexes are broken down into small units called "slices". Unlike other distributed databases that keep indexes local to a node, Xpand distributes indexes independently across the cluster. This prevents "scatter/gather" inefficiencies and allows queries to pinpoint the exact node containing the required data.

: To maintain strict database consistency at a massive scale, Xpand relies on the Paxos consensus algorithm to handle distributed transaction resolution, ensuring full ACID compliance. ⚖️ Automated Elasticity and Load Balancing How MariaDB Achieves Global Scale with Xpand How MariaDB achieves global scale with Xpand

: Queries are parsed, optimized, and pushed down to be executed concurrently on the specific nodes holding the relevant data slices. : Tables and their associated indexes are broken
