    looks like a HA cluster to me

    how about an HPC cluster? ten filters with coffee in, all going into the same coffee pot?

    Gotta ensure that it's load balanced too, to make sure the load is evenly distributed. Can't have one appliance taking all the load.

    The failover activity is quite time consuming though, you need to move a sticky!, after a while the stickyness will fail and you won't know which is active and what isn't. Which could prove fatal

    true - a split brain issue could be messy - they'd be better with an arrow on a pivot

    or a single jug as a quorum.

    I'd have thought High Performance Coffee would be one where you extract more caffeine

    you'd need some form of double cycle to get more out of the beans...

    Re: correct use of clustering.....

    I love you guys... taking geeky to the next level!

    but what about those who aren't compatible with the current output? Is there further development for it?

    adding a caffeine free node is a possibility but the failover could cause issues.

    I've always advocated local comput^H^H drinks-making for jobs that only a minority want and that may not necessarily take advantage of HPC.

    Though I suppose you could make the system run sufficiently generic jobs, maybe through some sort of grind/steam system so that more drinks types could be accelerated. As mentioned though, the risk of data contamination could be very serious.

    Re: correct use of clustering.....

    Is there scope for parallel processing - or perhaps an alternate coffee stream?

    I can't quite decide if it is a RAID 1 coffee stand, or a dual core version....
