Since 6.1.2

The following features or enhancements are now available in Data Insight 6.1.2.

Support for classification server pool to balance the classification workload

Every data source is associated with a Collector, and every Collector is associated with a Classification server. The mapping of the Collector to the classification server decides, to which classification server the request should be sent. When you submit paths for classification, a Data Insight server with a Collector role fans out the file paths to the assigned classification server which classifies those files. In Data Insight earlier releases, every classification server is associated to one Collector node. Now with the introduction of classification server pool feature inData Insight 6.1.2, the master classification server is assigned various slave servers. The master classification server distributes the classification requests to these slaves, which helps to balance the workload on the classification server and increases the overall throughput.

For more information on classification server pool, see the Veritas Data Insight Administrator's Guide
