We aim to design a network component called mcrouter, a memcache router
that routes client requests among two or more memcached instances. Clients to
mcrouter can come and go, but mcrouter maintains stable connections to the
memcache instances, which are shared by requests from multiple clients.
In this breakout, we want you to design mcrouter.
- How is
mcrouteracting like a client and/or a server? - How do you propose to handle multiple connections? What combination of
threads,
select,epoll, etc.?
