[Ruby] [ANN] db_memcache_store plugin for Rails Sessions

[Geoffrey Grosenbach]

Traditionally, using memcached has been one of the fastest ways to store sessions. However, if you restart memcached, all your sessions will be erased and all your users will have to login again.

I have heard that the Robot Coop uses a system where sessions are stored both in the database (for persistence) and in memcached (for easy access).

This library is an attempt to recreate that system. Sessions updates are saved to the database, but are also kept in memcached for quick access. If you turn off your memcached servers, the database will be used exclusively.

Experimental. Not benchmarked yet.
