none

horizontal partitioning

Replication methods

selectable replication methods; using Raft/IoTConsensus algorithm to ensure strong/eventual data consistency among multiple replicas

Multi-source replication using RAFT

With clustering: 2 database servers on different computers operate on identical copies of a database
