Klustering and Kache

[Jeff Genender <jg...@savoirtech.com>]

Hey community,

I just wanted to pass a note that some of us are working on the
geronimo-cache which is a "first-pass" at clustering in the sandbox:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/sandbox/geronimo-cache/

Its the beginning of a full replication implementation...its a start.  I
would like to invite any and all to feel free to jump in and chat about
it on the lists.

Its not fully functional but its a hopeful move in the right direction.

Thanks,

Jeff

No problem!  Great idea!

Jeff, just a thought - would you mind if I asked you to create a Wiki
page to incorporate it and the future notes about the implementation?
It'd be of help and would let people contribute in another way, e.g.
some UML class diagrams, etc. I guess changing the page will be much
easier than coding so some might jump in this way.

This is a great news!

The WADI community is also working on providing clustering capabilities 
to Geonimo. The "first-pass" is still not yet checked-in and I expect to 
have it checked it next week.

The implementation will provide:
* pluggable replication strategy;
* support of a large number of nodes thanks to state partitioning;
* session relocation (move this state to this node as an inbound request 
bound to this state has been received on the node);
* request relocation or proxying; and
* pluggable transport: Tribes, JGroups, ActiveCluster on top of ActiveMQ.

As part of this integration, we are also ensuring full pluggability of 
clustering framework for Geronimo, i.e. Klustering and Kache can easily 
be plugged in.

Thanks,
Gianny

Cool. Is this going to be a generic replicated cache service that can
be used for things like apache sessions, EJB state or even my own
custom code?
