Memcached looks like it would be a reasonable solution for my problem, although it's not optimal since it doesn't support an easy way of initializing itself at start up, but I can work around that. This may be wishful thinking, but does anyone have any experience using the Hadoop job/task framework to launch supporting tasks like a memcached processes? Is there anyone else thinking about issues of scheduling other kinds of tasks (other than mappers and reducers) in Hadoop?
