Hi all, I've made a few little experiments with Memcached, and it fits my needs well for 90% of my web application that is a simple CGI or FastCGI with request/response services. The rest of my web app is a set of long-running daemons that subscribe to a message queue and wait for events they're interested in.
Has there been any thought put in to having a publish/subscribe or other async notifications as part of the Memcached protocol? I can imagine a client requesting a "SUBSCRIBE key-name-or-prefix" from all their servers so that they get back "UPDATED key value" or "DELETED key value" from each server as it detects a modification to that key or prefix. If there is interest, I would be happy to work on the patch myself, given any guidance you can offer. Thanks for Memcached, and looking forward to your reply, Michael.
