Hi Sergey,
<div><br>

<div>We (OpenX) have a riak_core based application that's running
on a 125 node cluster (there are also other smaller clusters).
We never really tested to see where it would fall over (and the
cluster was much smaller when it started), but I see no
indicators that it will fall over when we add the 126th node.
FWIW, it's running riak_core 0.13.0, and I assume the newer
versions of riak_core have only gotten better. Answers to some
of your other questions (based solely on my experience) in-line
below.<br>

The riak list mentioned optimism about riak clusters of 200+ nodes
in a thread here:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://riak-users.197444.n3.nabble.com/does-Riak-cluster-maintain-fully-connected-Erlang-network-td3695942.html">http://riak-users.197444.n3.nabble.com/does-Riak-cluster-maintain-fully-connected-Erlang-network-td3695942.html</a><br>
<br>
However, as mentioned in the thread, a fully connected network of
nodes (fully connected because of the usage of distributed Erlang)
does have a natural limit (due to the network speed) on scalability
with the net tick time. You can always increase the net tick time,
but then failures will take longer to detect.<br>
<br>
So, your success may rely on your fault-tolerance requirements.<br>
