Hello, I am Aalekh Nigam, 3rd Year Undergraduate student at JIIT Noida, India. I would like to propose my participation for Port InnoDB Memcache Interface to MariaDB (https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-4674) as GSOC 2015 Student. Although I have been continuously involved with discussion regarding the project with the assigned mentor (Colin Charles), but would also like to propose my raw architecture for community participation , thus I would like to *request* you all to please go through the given architecture and follow up with your comments and remarks.Since the feature is critical to MariaDB, thus I will work hard on your comments and remarks to make this project a success. Architecture: According to my understanding this is the working that should be done for the project : ​Following are the main advantages which will come after integrating memcache to XtraDB (MariaDB Engine): - This memcache interfacing with MaraDB would help in faster execution of query in MaraDB Server. - Data can be unstructured or structured, depending on the type of application. You can make an all-new table for the data, or map the NoSQL-style processing to one or more existing tables. - Data that is requested through the memcached protocol is transparently queried from an XtraDB table, without going through the MariaDB SQL layer. - Because memcached consumes relatively little CPU, and its memory footprint is easy to control, it can run comfortably alongside a MariaDB instance on the same system. - Because memcached consumes relatively little CPU, and its memory footprint will be easy to control, it would run comfortably alongside a MariaDB instance on the same system. Detail Architecture: - Will have multi column key value support. - Will control memcache parameters through parameters like: read/write batch size, commit interval. - Direct access to XtraDb tables, bypassing the MariaDB SQL parser, the optimizer, and even the Handler API layer Thank You *Aalekh*
