[erlang-questions] How many fragments would be proper for 1milions records in mensia?

[Valentin Micic]

I'd say that also depends on what storage method you're using. Thus, in a 
case you're planning to use DETS (disc_only_copy), you may want to consider 
fragmentation even for 1 million... In my experience, the performance 
deteriorates(*) when table gets populated beyond, say, 250,000 entries (if 
entries are reasonably complex terms).

In addition, if you increase a number of dets fragments, make sure that you 
also increase a number of I/O threads (+A) to some reasonable value(**).

V.

(*) Inserts and/or updates are affected, read seems to keep good performance 
levels.

(**) If you are using 32-bit environment, try not to get carried away with a 
number of I/O threads, as the cost in memory may be substantial.
