I look forward to a time when MySQL will use OSS development once

to do so.
Sorry to troll, but I just cannot resist:
Exactly who is the main sponsor of work on drizzle?
And btw, everyone active on this list (and not only this one, mind
you) believes in OSS so there's no need to go all "you guys do it
wrong" on us, just because we happen to work for this company.
I'm not getting a paycheck to contribute to this project, but yet
I'm here, am I not? (same is true for Mark)
Forgive me for being terse here, but MySQL *IS* doing it wrong. And
people are noticing.
I'm sorry, with what we are talking about here I do not agree. Sure,
we are doing things wrong in a number of Open Development areas and
are (maybe slowly) trying to fix that. This project is a shining
example of how it should be done (why do you think so many of us
internal MySQLers have flocked here, we watch, try and learn, and try
and disseminate what we are seeing here too).
However, with this thread pooling feature I absolutely think we made
the right decision - to re-write it to something more applicable to
everybody, and release it in an Alpha version to stabilize, would you
disagree with that? And if so - why?
Why focus on an implementation that is going nowhere, rather than one
that is?
We could maybe try and see about releasing the patch now (I'm pretty
sure we own all rights to it), but really, in all honesty, it's not
worth *my* time to go off and try to do that. ;) Perhaps one of the
Drizzle guys would be interested in trying..
If anybody *really* wants to know how it was done - go chat with
Monty in #maria on freenode - he wrote it. :)
Cheers,
Mark
