Im quite interested in Facebook's code which was thrown over the wall again..
FlashCache ...
Sounds fast, using SSD's to help scale InnoDB/MySQL, but it was designed as a generic caching module that can be used with any application built on top of any block device..
Anyone tried it? Or using it?
Cheers
You should check out the benchmarks of Flashcache on mysqlperformanceblog.com - http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/?s=flashcache
Binaries of Percona Server (MySQL fork) with Flashcache support are on the product roadmap, located here: http://www.percona.com/docs/wiki/percona-server:roadmap
