Thanks for the quick replies. I have two follow-up questions: - Has anyone had experience using gearman with java bindings? The only binding I've found is gearman-java and it does not look very active.
- I'd like to keep our system as simple as possible and avoid additional components if possible. Has anyone had success using memcache itself for implementing work queues (a la memcachequeue)?
