Indexing, connection pooling, read replicas, query tuning, and throughput-aware SQL.
Cross Shard Query Scatter Gather Mock in Python
Simulate a distributed database cross-shard query using a scatter-gather pattern with a mock Python implementation.
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import List, Dict
@dataclass
class NodeResponse:
node_id: int
data: Dict[str, float]
def mock_query_shard(shard_id: int, shard_data: Dict[str, float], query: str) -> NodeResponse:
"""Simulate querying a single shard, returning matches whose value > 50."""
…How to Replicate Data Across All Shards in Python
Mocks a global table that replicates a key-value pair to every shard, ensuring reads return the same value from any shard.
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Dict, List
@dataclass
class Shard:
id: str
data: Dict[str, int]
class GlobalTable:
def __init__(self, shards: List[Shard]):
self._shards = {s.id: s for s in shards}
def set_value(self, key: str, value: int) -> None:
