Hello, I'm an undergraduate student currently in the junior year of my Computer Science degree at FAST National University, Lahore, Pakistan. A friend of mine and I are interested in the handlersocket/memcache project idea posted on your GSoC 2012 ideas page and would like to work with you on it as applicants for GSoC 2012.
I have been working on and studying the MySQL code base for almost a year now as part of a team at Software Engineering Research Center (SERC) at FAST-NU under the mentorship of our HoD, Dr. Fakhar Lodhi. The other person who is interested in this project is Waqas Iftikhar. He is also from FAST-NU and has been working with me in the team at SERC. Our work also includes work on some of the bugs listed on bugs.mysql.com numbered 50675, 50507, 54034 and 20093. Over the last couple of days, I have extensively studied material regarding memcache and handlersocket online. If i'm not mistaken, a memcache solution has been introduced in MySQL 5.6 which can be of use in Drizzle. On the other hand though, handlersocket appeals more to me since it is open source, and has numerous advantages such as supporting CRUD operations and maintaining data consistency, though, there is a large drawback regarding security. I would like to know your thoughts reagarding this. Regards, Sohair Tayyab Butt
