I read that 'A shared-nothing cluster does not provide load balancing'.
MQ cluster a shared-nothing cluster but it does provide load balancing capabilities, does'nt it? |

Sharing nothing
Is like sharing
Everything
with everybody
haiku-like (17 syllables), but probably not the right number of syllables in each line.
And about as cryptic as the question.
The answer is YES
If it pleases you
or maybe NO
otherwise

Sorry about being vague.
Here is what i read in an article:
'A shared-nothing cluster (such as Microsoft’s Cluster Server) does not share any components, but usually involves replication of data (in a timely manner) that can be used by a hot standby system/application. In
this scenario, clustering provides fail-over capabilities, but not load-balancing.'
It also says that MQ clustering works on this concept of shared-nothing cluster.
My doubt is : MQ clustering does provide load balancing.So how does this comply with the definition of a shared-nothing cluster?
Hope this is still not cryptic. |

Maybe you read wrong. Maybe what you read is wrong.
MQ Clustering DOES provide load-balancing and DOES NOT provide failover capabilities (by any reasonable definition of "failover").
