Cluster
Each DDS cluster consists of a config node, and multiple mongos and shard nodes. The following diagram shows the node relationships.
Figure 1 Diagram of node relationships
mongos
A mongos is a router for reading and writing data, providing a unified interface for accessing DB instances.
- Each DB instance has 2 to 16 mongos nodes. You can specify the quantity.
- A mongos reads configuration settings from configs and allocates read and write requests to shards. You can connect to a mongos directly.
config
A config stores configuration settings for DB instances and consists of one replica set.
You cannot connect to a config node directly.
shard
Shards are used to store user data.
- Each Community Edition instance has 2 to 16 shard nodes. You can specify the quantity.
- Each shard node is deployed as a replica set to ensure data redundancy and high reliability.
- You cannot connect to a shard node directly.
