Erlang and Ice

[Serge Aleynikov]

Hi Ryan,

I haven't used Ice, however skimming through its 1650-page manual makes 
me wonder if Ice is something widely used.

Erlang OTP comes with ei interface that allows to write C-based clients. 
  There is an EPI library (beta version) on sourceforge.net that 
encapsulates ei and gives you with C++ interface.

In any event, getting million reads per second is going to be quite a 
challenge.  Is it million transactions of a single read each, or N 
transactions with M reads per second (N*M = 10^6)?  While the second 
case seems challenging yet doable, I am pretty skeptical about the 
feasibility of the first one without running into various I/O related 
bottlenecks.
