[basex-talk] upper limits on storage; database admin

What are the upper bounds to basex in size? Assuming it's just text xml, gigabytes is quite a bit to my thinking. At a certain, it's "big data" -- but how do you know when you're approaching that point?

Or, is the bottleneck more read/write and consistency problems? What little I know of RDBMS is that master/slave can alleviate some bottlenecks.

To put this another way: I'm so enthusiastic about basex that I'm having trouble finding a place it doesn't fit. As you approach terabytes and beyond what dbadmin approaches are employed?
