sure, latency would be lower, but i still believe that they would be functionally identical.
regardless, i believe that this isn't really something that memcached should do. it gives you the tools necessary to implement it without adding functionality tangential to its core purpose. if you want a more robust distributed locking mechanism, then you can use a tool that was purpose-built for this. i'm a firm believer in keeping systems to their core design, otherwise memcached will eventually have an email client built into it. -- awl On Feb 3, 2011 11:11 PM, "Roberto Spadim" <[email protected]> wrote:
