FYI. You might find this useful if you do clustering. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2000 22:28:38 +0100 From: Ben Laurie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Scalable <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Apache SSL Announce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Apache List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, ASF Members <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, OpenSSL Dev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Yair Amir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Theo Schlossnagle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Jonathon Stanton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Splash! Splash is something I wrote a while back, after inspiration struck during the opening plenary of ApacheCon 2000 (in Orlando). I've been meaning to release it for ages, but I've been held back by the lack of a good testbed. For some strange reason, several people have converged on me desiring Splash, or its functionality, in the last day, so I've decided to release it on the unsuspecting masses, warts'n'all. What is it? Its a distributed, masterless database, that's what. And its good for maintaining state of all kinds over clustered servers. Its small, but perfectly formed (in the opinion of its proud father[1]). And you can find it here: http://anoncvs.aldigital.co.uk/splash/. For those who will only read this announcement and pursue no further, I should say that Splash relies completely on Spread, which is a totally cool piece of software, and was written at John Hopkins. Cheers, Ben. [1] Yes, I did notice the contradiction. -- http://www.apache-ssl.org/ben.html Coming to ApacheCon Europe 2000? http://apachecon.com/
