Apache Helix Reviews

Apache Helix Description

Apache Helix is a generic cluster management framework that automates the management of distributed, replicated, and partitioned resources hosted on a cluster. Helix automates the reassignment and reconfiguration of resources in case of node failure, recovery, cluster expansion, or reconfiguration. Cluster management is the first step to understanding Helix. For the following reasons, a distributed system is typically run on multiple nodes: Scalability, fault tolerance, load balancencing, and scalability. Each node is responsible for one or more of the cluster's primary functions, such as serving and storing data, producing and consuming data streams, etc. Helix is the global brain of your system once it has been configured. It is designed to make decisions that are not possible in isolation. Although it is possible to integrate these functions into a distributed system, it can complicate the code.
