Gearman Description

A generic application framework to farm out work to other machines or processes that are better suited to do the work Gearman is a free and open source system to farm out work to other machines, dispatching function calls to machines that are better suited to do work, to load balance lots of function calls, to do work in parallel, or to call functions between languages.Gearman allows you to do work in parallel, to load balance processing, and to call functions between languages. Gearman can be used in a variety of applications, from high-availability web sites to the transport of database replication events. In other words, it is the nervous system for how distributed processing communicates. Here are some key features of "Gearman": · Open Source - It's free! (in both meanings of the word) Gearman has an active open source community that is easy to get involved with if you need help or want to contribute. · Multi-language - There are interfaces for a number of languages, and this list is growing. You also have the option to write heterogeneous applications with clients submitting work in one language and workers performing that work in another. · Flexible - You are not tied to any specific design pattern. You can quickly put together distributed applications using any model you choose, one of those options being Map/Reduce. · Fast - Gearman has a simple protocol and interface with a new optimized server in C to minimize your application overhead. · Embeddable - Since Gearman is fast and lightweight, it is great for applications of all sizes. It is also easy to introduce into existing applications with minimal overhead. · No single point of failure - Gearman can not only help scale systems, but can do it in a fault tolerant way. What's New in This Release: · Threaded Gearman job server (gearmand). · More options to gearmand. · OSX bug fixes related to poll(). · Fix for bug #357881. · Man page rework.
