Is there automatic load balancing in CrateDB?

Question

I am currently evaluating CrateDB and came up this question. I know that CrateDB proudly claims itself to be a no-config database. So, is there automatic load balancing? Or is it possible to add a load balancer before the dabase?

After browsing the web for a bit I found this howto indicating there is no automatic load balancing in CrateDB. Is that correct?

Answer 1

yes, load balancing happens automatically:

• the client libraries can be configured with multiple nodes and then do round-robin scheduling
• if you pass a query to a node - the execution of the query will happen distributed in the cluster anyhow.
