[infinispan-dev] PHP hot rod client

[Galder Zamarreño]

Hi Albert,

Thanks a lot for writing that PHP client! I’m not a PHP expert, but hopefully someone in the Infinispan team can have a look at.

Radargun [1] is a benchmark framework we use to run performance tests of Infinispan. We also run tests for the Hot Rod client, but it’s very JVM centric, so not sure how you could add PHP there.

In terms of Hot Rod/memcached performance perspective, Hot Rod should be slightly faster, but the big gains come when you deploy a cluster of Infinispan Servers since Hot Rod has more clever topology routing logic and it can update topology at runtime.

Cheers,

I haven't seen any further discussion of it, but I find myself in the same situation described before: I want to have a Drupal installation write cache data to Infinispan, and I'd prefer if it could do it via the Hot Rod protocol rather than the memcached protocol.
