Yes,
I?ve read these doc. I was just considering if someone had any experience with
Mogile in email environment.
Well, actually I?m trying to figure out if one of those nosql systems can store
and scale email systems (ie, mailboxes - instead of maildir). I know mysql is
always quoted as an option and discussed sometimes in the list. I think it?s an
unnecessary overhead and bottleneck.
As brainstorm. How about Cassandra, Tokyo-Tirant, Redis, and so on. Have you
ever worked or tested one of them at production or even testing environment ?
What do you think ?
Best Regards,
Fernando
