Memcached server based on JBoss Cache
-------------------------------------

                 Key: JBCACHE-1402
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1402
             Project: JBoss Cache
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Manik Surtani
            Assignee: Manik Surtani
             Fix For: 3.0.0.GA


This is to create a simple server daemon (similar to a TcpCacheServer) that uses memcached's binary and RESTful protocols, which proxy requests to the cache.  Simply called CacheServer?

A CacheClient could also be created, which implements Cache and uses the memcached protocol to speak to CacheServer.  Consistent hashing could be used to select the server picked, server topology could be piggybacked with responses back to the CacheClient.

This would allow us to:

1.  Use CacheClient with memcached backends
2.  Use memcached front-ends (Java, Python, Perl, C) to speak to JBoss Cache backends
3.  Allow for a heterogenous mix of backends.

In future the TcpCacheServer could simply be replaced with CacheServer and the TcpCacheLoader updated to use the CacheClient.
