Hi all, I'm the author of the msession daemon. I haven't done any actual work on it in a
couple years. Suddenly, I find myself needing it again. It's current state is almost certainly
VERY different than you are used too, and it as been renamed to mcache (internally to Mohawk
Software). I may ramp up work on it again.
In the course of the 5 years that msession being made available, I've gotten a lot of calls for
support, and one bug fix. (And not a single donation BTW)
A decisions needs to be made if "mcache" will continue to be available. I don't mind
people using it, I don't mind that I've made no money on it (that's not why I wrote
it), but the desperate "my server farm is down" calls because a working system died when
the admin deployed changes with out adaquite testing are a huge distraction. In good conscience, I
can't let the poor guy twist in the wind, but sometimes it takes hours to fix. Hours away from
work that pays my bills or my family. Apache 2.0 with multiple threads really caused a lot of
problems.
So, I guess what I'm saying is this: msession will become mcache (publically) some time in the
future. On modern hardware it can handle about 5,000 ~10,000 session transactions a second
(depending on the amount of data in the session, and the conectivity to the nodes, etc.) I may keep
it on my server, but I can't support it for you without being paid up front. If you use it:
learn it, know it, live it, and contribute if you can.
