[Question #247085]: Multiple carbon-cache instances without carbon-relay

 

New question #247085 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/247085

Hi,

we want to run multiple carbon-cache instances which all use the same storage without 
a carbon-relay.

Instead carbon-relay we want to use a loadbalancer like haproxy using a roundrobin algorithm. 

Does this work?

The reason for this is that carbon-relay will distribute a given metric always to the same
carbon-cache instance when using consistent-hashing. At least this is how i understand carbon-relay
for now. 

But that is not what we want. We want to evenly distribute all load over all carbon-cache instances.

Greetings,
-timo
