Exasol BucketFS
👤 User Guide¶
Bucketfs¶
Depending on the database configuration, the bucketfs setup can range from straight forward to fairly complex. This is due to the fact that:
Each database can have one or more BucketFS services (in the On-Prem database)
Each BucketFS service is available on all worker cluster of a database
Each BucketFS service runs on all data nodes of a database
Each BucketFS service can have one or more Buckets (in the On-Prem database)
Each Bucket can hold one or more files
The overview bellow tries to illustrate this in a more tangible manner. For more details on bucketfs, please also have a look in the bucketfs section of the database documentation.
