CC to zookeeper-user Hi,
I've not keeped myself up to date on gearman development in the last weeks (months) since I've been occupied with other duties, mostly the introduction of hadoop[1] in our company. One subproject of hadoop is zookeeper[2], "a centralized service for maintaining configuration information, naming, providing distributed synchronization, and providing group services.". One of the documented use cases of zookeeper is a distributed queue[3]. (However this document doesn't seem to be that well written.) I woundered if anyone from the gearman project has already heard of zookeeper and eventually considered a gearman implementation on top of it? It shouldn't be that hard and it would get you replication for free. Maybe I'll try ones my current project is done. :-) [1] http://hadoop.apache.org/ [2] http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/ [3] http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/docs/current/zookeeperTutorial.html Best regards, Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro
