Hi

As i seen this topic was discussed later, but i have new idea that IMHO can throw new light.

What about combining memory cache backends with file cache fallback for tags? Ofcorse optional if someone wants this.

This should give us benefits from fast memory cache and tagging system with only small drawback on performance needed to update (or retreive) tags cache from filesystem.

And what you think about this idea?

It's interesting but why use the filesystem? Why not use the cache itself but use a different key structure to track this (e.g. cache an array of keys that match the tag "wibble" under the key name "Zend_Cache-keymap-wibble"? This approach could be implemented in a base class and those backends not supporting tags could simple extend it. I've not looked at the intricacies of this from a data integrity point of view so there could be several reasons why this wouldn't work :)

Filesystem was my first idea, but db and any other "solid" backend is good. Memcached and other memory based backends aren't good because it's content can be deleted in any time.

Also as a related issue, would it be possible to implement a cache invalidation queue system backed by a database? The reason I say this is when considering multi-server environments (let's assume there is one database for all servers).
See my post with Mao_Cache. I didn't tested it with DB yet, but i was also thinking about clustered enviroments.
