mysql player database export for analysis

[beanking 0]

Does each of the server DayZ 'clones' keep a mysql database cache of player positions,gear,etc that is then relayed to bohemia's centralized database setup or is the player data *only* kept and stored on bohemia's centralized database?

I'd like to do some gameplay research and analysis using mysql queries on the player database, but if that data is not stored on the 'clone' servers then it wouldn't be available for export and if the player database is on the clone server I'm not sure whether running a periodic database export for offline analysis would be a violation of the terms of service,IP Ban,etc.

Thanks,

Nevermind, someone mentioned to me that everything is stored on the centralized HIVE(no 'clone' side database caching). Will be interesting how this centralized database mod adapts to scale from maybe 10,000 simultaneous db writes/inserts per second to whatever the max might be.

Would still be interested in possible player database exports(maybe anonymize player id's) from the centralized HIVE database but doubting that will happen, so best I can hope for it seems would be DayZ Lite for independent study or published details past the initial September info at http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?125358-USEC-Revolution-Persistent-World
