A Redshift cluster comprises of a Leader Node automatically provisioned whenever there is more than one compute node. Redshift employs a Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) architecture that can distribute SQL operations across all available resources (nodes) resulting in very high query performance. This provides increased I/O performance and savings in storage space. Amazon Redshift employs columnar storage where data blocks store values of a single column of multiple rows. This means that reading the same number of column field values for the same number of records requires less I/O operations when compared to row-wise storage. This works for OLTP applications where most transactions read/write most of the columns in a row. In row-wise database storage (typically used in OLTP databases), data blocks store values sequentially for consecutive columns that make up a single row. Here are some key features of Amazon Redshift: Columnar Storage Client applications always talk to the Leader Node. The compute nodes are also not exposed to client applications. Internal Networking – All the nodes are internally connected through a 10g network enabling faster data transfer between the nodes.Client Applications – client applications can be the standard ETL, BI and analytics tools.Each Compute Node has its down compute, memory and storage ![]()
