Hello All,

I have implemented load_balancing in our Vertica Cluster.

Now what I want to understand is, If my application is connected to one node of vertica, then is it that the initiator node will get all the request and then distribute the request to another nodes according to connection load balancing.
Or the connection are automatically hitting different nodes of vertica on the fly without going through initiator node because of connection Load balancing.

The issue is I am seeing a lot of query count on my initiator nodes.

Thanks

Hi Abhishek,

You are describing about HP Vertica Load balancer IPVS package .

My question is intended for Connection load balance feature included in Vertica 7.
Which is implemented on Client side and server side to take place.

Thanks

Hi Naveen ,

 

Have you got the solution for this ?

 

I am facing the same issue regarding load balancing

 

Below is the sql and the output .

select  node_name,count(*) from query_requests group by 1;

node_name                count
v_pmdb_node0001    77895
v_pmdb_node0002    2393
v_pmdb_node0003    15

 
I have set the load balance policy to roundrobin and ksafe 1 with 3 nodes

 
Can you tell me why the load is not distributed and what all I need to do further
