Description

Hello. Very interesting solution. I have a MySQL server s 3 slave behaves very badly because of this we are looking for a shard solution because the data already reaches 6 TB. I liked Vitess, and the solution on K8S Vitess-operator, although I have not yet been able to fully understand how to do it correctly. I have several questions.

  1. why Deployment and not Stateful?
  2. how to restore a cluster in case of failure?
  3. how to properly configure the MySQL server config that Vtablet runs or does it happen automatically?
  4. for vtablet I made pv with node affinity like a hotel, but the operator created a few pv for other components automatically, can I control them too?
  5. in the latest version of “external source” there is an error, but v19. gets connected.

I must say the Vitess documents are good, but the Vitess operator documents are not so good at all.
