Hi
Sorry if this is a trivial question. I wonder if there is a way to install and run several instances of mySQL (each on a separate server) that will all share the same data files? Only one instance will do writes (insert/update/deletes) while the other instances will perform the reads.
The idea is to have several instances that act like slaves but without doing the replication. The storage engine is Innodb. Currently there are 4 slaves each having their data set. However, since we are planning to upgrade the storage to a super fast storage with extremely low latency we would like to use just one set of data files that will be shared by several instances.
Any suggestion will be appreciated
Thanks
