[OpenSIPS-Devel] usrloc module with Redis

[Mircea Ulinic]

Hello guys,

As everyone knows already, usrloc module is used for storage of 
registered users' details.
At the time being, there are two possibilities to store information: 1. 
to save in OpenSips memory - but this you really don't want to do, or 2. 
save in a slow and less-scalable MySQL database.

Now, I am wondering why this module does not make use of redis module, 
already used by many other.
The implementation can be quite straightforward, just playing a bit with 
some Redis-specific datastructures such as SORTED SETs etc.

I cannot see an obvious reason why Redis is not used in this case, since 
it would bring lots of improvements when it comes to speed, scalability 
and redundancy.

But still I am wondering if there is someone that has already 
implemented it and what I am going to do is just reinventing the wheel...

Any opinions about that?

Thank you!
Mircea
