Understanding nodes in RisingWave

RisingWave projects consist of four types of nodes, each serving a distinct role:
  1. Serving Node: Responsible for parsing and validating queries, executing batch queries, optimizing streaming query plans, and delivering query results.
  2. Streaming Node: Responsible for ingesting data from upstream systems, parsing and running streaming queries, and optionally delivering data to downstream systems.
  3. Compactor Node: Handles data storage and retrieval from object storage. They also perform data compaction to optimize storage efficiency.
  4. Meta Node: Takes charge of managing the metadata of compute and Compactor Nodes and orchestrating operations across the system.
  5. ETCD: A distributed key-value store that provides a reliable way to store data across a project of machines. This node cannot be scaled manually after the project is created.
