(The= project is an implementation of MUMPS; which means the 'heart' of the proj= ect is a database implemented as a B-Tree distributed over multiple servers= .) I know that the DSA can do this, and I would like to know how, but I have n= o experience with the DSA. Also, and this I'm unsure of, can a DSA applicat= ion add/remove [storage] nodes dynamically? (If so, "hot-swapably"?) -- Suc= h a facility would be a great boon to horizontal scaling. If successful, this project will be quite useful to the MUMPS community (as= a full-Ada implementation would be quite portable) -- but it could also he= lp the Ada community because MUMPS is _THE_ backend language for [electroni= c] medical records (certainly within the VA) and an Ada implementation coul= d provide for some good Ada interop into the system. (Thus getting Ada's to= e in the door for non-embedded/non-device medical applications.) ----- I'll post a gethub link to the project once I get a bit more info and a bit= more fleshed out architecturally.
