Info
This topic does not apply to SingleStore Managed Service.
This topic specifies maximum sizes and numbers of various SingleStore DB components. Use the following links to navigate to a section below:
Cluster-Level Limits
| Item | Max Spec (enforced) | Max Spec (recommended) | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of hosts in a cluster | None | Workloads that generate significant network traffic between hosts should be limited to clusters with smaller number of hosts. | |
| Number of nodes in a cluster (includes leaves and aggregators) | None | Workloads that generate significant network traffic between nodes should be limited to clusters with smaller number of nodes. | |
| Number of databases in a cluster | None | Each database requires memory for transaction buffer and more databases implies greater demand on available memory. | |
| Concurrent queries in a cluster | None | Each aggregator will only actually execute a limited number of queries at once (defined by max_connection_threads, default 192). Beyond that concurrency, queries will be queued up. | |
| Simultaneous client connections | 100,000 per aggregator | For more information, read about max_connections |
