still active

is this project still active ? the last commit is pretty old, the readme links to a google group that doesn't exist and no issues seem to be discussed ?

it seems it isnt. we are using it in a beta project though and will likely need to rewrite this project as i already mentioned in some other issues... the original author will likely concede development to another maintainer since he doesn't seem to have the required time as he told me.

There are a number of issues (missing tests are one) such as some header parsing issues as well as gaps in strict protocol adherence (order of acks against messages etc) that have to be addressed (e.g. using a simple state machine)

I am likely to do it anyway, but it will have to wait until after our beta (which will end at the end of july) before doing any real work. if anybody else would like to tackle it we could certainly test it :) ...

that said the project is closely related to memcache of course so maybe some overlap with existing projects could be exploited. all in all it should not take a whole lot of time to do it right.

+1 I'm currently evaluating this tech and but #125 is breaking my initial build. This project badly needs active maintenance.

Twitter has upstream changes that were never merged here. You can see the subsequent versions and source jars here: http://maven.twttr.com/net/lag/kestrel_2.9.2/

If it helps, I've got a Docker image building from the pre-compiled binaries: https://github.com/thefactory/docker-kestrel

It's available on the Docker Hub: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/thefactory/kestrel/
