什么是Scalability，看看他的形容词的意思：scalable adj.可攀登的
可升级的，这里Scalability我通常理解为系统的可攀升能力。doc的原意是：
Scalability is a system's ability to process more workload, with a proportional increase in system resource usage. In other words, in a scalable system, if you double the workload, then the system would use twice as many system resources. This sounds obvious, but due to conflicts within the system, the resource usage might exceed twice the original workload.
Understanding Scalability
The word scalability is used in many contexts in development environments. The following section provides an explanation of scalability that is aimed at application designers and performance specialists.
