I'm confused by all this talk of Gearman. I thought TheSchwartz(ugh) was a better and more reliable version of Gearman that is meant to replace it? I'm pretty sure that was the explanation we got on the MT lists. This all came up when it was mentioned that TheSchwartz is being used in MT4 and there was a collective groan about the naming of that package. Some of us have to stand in front of corporate clients and say "we are using TheSchwartz to..." with a straight face an hope they take us seriously. We're all looking forward to explaining that it has nothing to due with Mel Brooks, but an inside joke they won't get. Anyway, I think some clarity on Gearman vs. TheSchwartz and their paths going forward would be helpful. <tim/>
Google's distributed lock service is called ``chubby.'' That's got to be awkward in presentations as well.
