mysql myISAM vs Innodb storage engines

By OK -

InnoDB and MYISAM, are storage engines for MySQL.
These two differ on their locking implementation: InnoDB locks the particular row in the table, and MyISAM locks the entire MySQL table.
You can specify the type by giving MYISAM OR InnoDB while creating a table in DB.
The major deficiency of MyISAM is the absence of transactions support. Versions of MySQL 5.5 and greater have switched to the InnoDB engine to ensure referential integrity constraints, and higher concurrency.

When MyISAM tables are mostly useful

There can be several other reasons that fit your requirement for choosing the MyISAM engine. For example, reads can be faster on MyISAM, despite the general claims in the MySQL documentation, when a MyISAM table has a fixed (not dynamic) row size, for example, when it uses more CHARs then VARCHARs. Another reason why you might choose MyISAM over Innodb is because Innodb must perform additional checks because of ACID compliancy. For example, a FK check must be performed, which could potentially cause an operational overhead.

Tomcat Component are Catalina Coyote Jasper Cluster Catalina :  Catalina is the name of the servlet container of Apache Tomcat since version 4.x. Tomcat implements Sun Microsystems' specifications for servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP), which are important Java-based Web technologies. Tomcat's servlet container was redesigned as Catalina in Tomcat version 4.x. other components of the Tomcat engine are: Tomcat Jasper which converts the code portions within JavaServer Pages into servlets and pass them to Catalina to process. Tomcat Coyote which is an HTTP connector based on HTTP/1.1 specifications that receives and transmits web requests to the Tomcat engine by listening to a TCP/IP port and returns requests back to the requesting client. Coyote :  The Coyote JK Connector element represents a Connector component that communicates with a web connector via the JK protocol (also known as the AJP protocol). This is used for cases where you wish to invisibly integr

NFS mount add in fstab _netdev instead of default | firewall-cmd --list-all

By OK -
Redhat recommends us to add  _netdev  option for NFS file system in /etc/fstab. So that they can be mounted after starting the networking service. Alternative ways to refer to partitions: Label : LABEL=label Network ID Samba : //server/share NFS : server:/share SSHFS : sshfs#user@server:/share Device : /dev/sdxy (not recommended) Example #1 //192.168.1.134/share_name /mnt/share_name cifs username=server_user,password=server_password,_netdev 0 0 ^ Path to your share ^ Mountpoint ^ Username ^ Password ^ See note A Note A: The  _netdev  options makes sure the mount is only attempted AFTER a network connection has been established. Example #2 10.10.10.1:/vol1/fs1 /data nfs defaults,_netdev 0 0 ============================ [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --list-all public   target: default   icmp-block-inversion: no   interfaces:   sources:   services: dhcpv6-client high-availability ssh   ports:   protocols:   masquera
