FYI, there is a difference between a session scheduler and an I/O scheduler. For an I/O scheduler, which has the responsibility of reading I/O events from sockets as they arrive from client connections, libevent may be an excellent fit. But, for session schedulers, whose responsibility it is to prioritize the execution of a session's statements, the scheduler needs to be thought of in a different way.. - -j > -Eric > > On Sun, Mar 22, 2009 at 11:32:44PM -0400, Padraig O'Sullivan wrote: >> Hi! >> >> I saw that MySQL was accepted as a mentoring organization for SoC 2009 >> and I've been thinking of project ideas that might be useful for the >> community.
