While I have no objections to Hazelcast and know it's well regarded by the Unicon folks, Redis seems far more widespread.

This is one of those faddish areas where people seem to glom onto things all the time and not just stick with a solution, which makes supporting things difficult.<br class="gmail_msg"></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm coming around to the reality that constant change is the new normal in IT.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
It's premature to be talking about it, but longer term I think I'd be happier if we had a smaller set of better choices and eventually deprecate the memcache code so we can stop supporting it at some point.<br class="gmail_msg"></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Agree. I looked at the memcached project around the end of 2016 and it was looking fairly inactive in terms of commits, which was surprising. There's been a healthy amount of activity recently and in fact a release just a few days ago, so perhaps I just caught it in a lull. Project health aside I think we can do better for a general-purpose storage platform than memcached these days. Shoot, I'd rather pull in Unicon's Hazelcast and a new Redis component than get deadlocked about which is best, assuming of course the support and development goals could be met with both.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>M<a href="mailto:dev-unsubscribe@shibboleth.net" class="gmail_msg" target="_blank"></a><br class="gmail_msg">
