That's true, but what's unique about MongoDB, AFAIK, is that by default the official client would inform the caller that the write had been successful before the data had even reached the server. This has been changed recently, though, but the default durability settings are still too weak. On Thu, Aug 1, 2013 at 7:32 PM, Avi Marcus <avi@avimarcus.net> wrote:
Writing to disk isn't a uniquely mongodb issue - even many SQL dbs have configurable options for write durability. But for failover replication, the writing to disk is less of the issue than the latency of the replication... -Avi

You can modify this behavior in MongoDB by changing the "write concern" [1] to ensure that the MongoDB client only returns to the caller when at least one of the replicas has acknowledged the data. The problem is that if you do that the performance drops dramatically. In my opinion, MongoDB is only suitable for storing non-critical data. I would never use it for a failover solution with FreeSWITCH.
BTW, moving from a relational database to a NoSQL one is not trivial at all, especially if your application requires any kind of transactionality from the DB.

Doesn't MongoDB acknowledge a write when it still has the data in mem as opposed to written on disk? So when the power fails and both FreeSWITCH server 1 and MongoDB server 1 are down there was data in memory that has not been replicated to MongoDB server 2. How is that going to result in proper failover? How can you fire up FreeSWITCH server 2 with all call data when MongoDB server 2 does not have all the call data? I'm no NoSQL expert so would love to hear how a NoSQL based solution could do the job reliably.
