Creating Custom Distributed Storage Engine

[Jonathan Ellithorpe]

Hi All,

I saw the documentation here:

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/custom-engine.html

But I wasn't sure if this documentation was valid for the case where I want to create a distributed, shared, storage backend for MySQL, where many MySQL servers are all accessing the same storage backend.

Could someone please point me in the right direction? I'm not sure if there's something special that goes into creating a distributed storage engine plugin for MySQL (say, for Cassandra, where one intends to deploy multiple MySQL servers that all access the same Cassandra cluster).

Thanks for any help,
Jonathan
