Chapter 5: Fault Tolerance and Auto-Rebalancing

In Chapter 4, Geo-Partitioning, we learned about what geo-partitioning is, why we need it, and how it's supported in CockroachDB.

In this chapter, we will discuss what fault tolerance and auto-rebalancing are and how CockroachDB provides these features. We will also learn about multi-node failure scenarios and how to recover from them.

Fault tolerance refers to how CockroachDB copes with various types of failures. Auto-rebalancing in general is the ability to adapt and increase or decrease the number of nodes in a cluster to avoid hotspots. We will discuss auto-rebalancing with specific examples that you can also try.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Achieving fault tolerance
  • Automatic rebalancing
  • Recovering from multi-node failures
