We noticed that it's possible to create a cluster of MonetDB instances, but it seems that it's main purpose is to ease the administration of several MonetDB instances and provide a single entrance point to several MonetDB instances. Still, we still have some questions about its use:
Is it possible to partition a table across several MonetDB instances in order to improve the performance?
Currently MonetDB will not do anything for you to partition a table, and/or maintain the partitioning. However, if you partition the table yourself, and use a multiplex-funnel to query all shards of your table at once and return the union of the individual results. See the MULTIPLEX-FUNNELS section in the monetdbd(1) man-page[1].
