Gearman, a distributed client/server architecture, is a tool designed to make development easy and to leverage software reuse at a level never experienced before. You can use directly libraries written in Perl from a Java or PHP application, and the other way around. Using the MySQL UDFs, you can introduce the power of Gearman inside the MySQL server. This talk will show awesome examples of Gearman advanced usage, including, but not limited to:
  • Creating multi-dimensional crosstabs in any language and within the MySQL server;
  • Monitoring replication slaves from inside the master;
  • Allowing the master to send queries to the slaves;
  • Installing replicated servers remotely;
  • Allowing the MySQL servers to monitor the operating system and tune itself.

This session is intended for users who are already familiar with Gearman basics or have attended the beginners session.
