Abstract
Approaches for processing an event in an objects store, such as an MySQL database management system or a memcached caching system, that are maintained on one or more solid state devices. A plurality of threads may be instantiated. Each of the threads may be configured to retrieve items from a queue of items. Each item in the queue of items may be associated with a particular event occurring within the object store. Each event is a message that indicates an activity requiring work has occurred within the object store. When a particular thread retrieves an item from the queue of items, the particular thread processes the particular event associated with the item retrieved by the particular thread. In this way, event handling in object stores such as MySQL and memcached may be performed more efficiently on a solid state device.
