file side memcached

[Cahill, Earl]

It might sound like heresy, and I know about tugela cache

but I am wondering if anyone else would be interested in a file side
cache that mimics the memcached spec.  Mostly I am thinking that it
could work very well to be in front of Amazon's S3 storage service.

The problem for me is file size.  Maybe it wouldn't be an issue, but
tugela uses Berkeley db and I am thinking that maybe that wouldn't work
so hot for say photo storage.  

 

For me, having a nice terabyte box or two in front of S3 I think would
work rather nicely.

 

Thanks,

Earl
