This is a litle experiment to try to do a php wrapper to use MySql with huge database tables (logs, etc), and search into it, not using any external software like: memcached, mongoDb, etc. The trick is to create a table MyIsam, with a fulltext search index (OMG!) and a uuid with primary key index. We use this table as key:value table, but in addition we created a fulltext index to datapack row values (serialized) Interesting ... fulltext MyIsam capability can find text into serialized fields. Benchmarks said we found needle in haystack in 0.003~0.004 secs against 1 Million records. So... MyIsam is not bad at all! ;-D
