[erlang-questions] In a mnesia cluster, which node is queried?

[Dan Gudmundsson]

Like this

from mnesia_lib:
set_remote_where_to_read(Tab, Ignore) ->
     Active = val({Tab, active_replicas}),
     Valid =
	case mnesia_recover:get_master_nodes(Tab) of
	    [] ->  Active;
	    Masters -> mnesia_lib:intersect(Masters, Active)
	end,
     Available = mnesia_lib:intersect(val({current, db_nodes}), Valid -- Ignore),
     DiscOnlyC = val({Tab, disc_only_copies}),
     Prefered  = Available -- DiscOnlyC,
     if
	Prefered /= [] ->
	    set({Tab, where_to_read}, hd(Prefered));
	Available /= [] ->
	    set({Tab, where_to_read}, hd(Available));
	true ->
	    set({Tab, where_to_read}, nowhere)
     end.
