A few months ago, Brian Aker invited me to have a look at Gearman, saying that I could find interesting combinations with MySQL Proxy. I did not forget, and I kept thinking about interesting ways of using it. The first idea that I managed to apply is not related to Proxy, but to a practical problem that I have been keeping in reserve for years, i.e. installing replication systems from remote, without effort. |
After some fiddling around with the alternatives, I convinced
myself that Gearman is the way to go. Before I proceed to show
what I did, though, perhaps it's useful if I spend a few words
about Gearman …
