[Seeks-users] Remote user databases

[Emmanuel B. <ebe...@se...>]

Hi all,

The current 'experimental' branch introduces, with commit 
704ba486cf961ff799d7e00d7be9173d921e2df9 the ability to use remote user
databases.

In practice, this means that you can setup a Tokyo Tyrant server for
your user database containing personalized information (your clicks,
queries and navigation), serving the database over your local network
for example. You can then use the same database from any of your Seeks 
nodes. 

While this may not sound better as to setup a remote Seeks instance, 
it is the first step towards the ability to exchange data fragments among
remote user databases. So technically, this is the root basis for later
sharing of queries and experience on their results.

Be careful though if you intend to setup a remote user database, as 
it does not include any rights (read/write) management, nor secure
(e.g. SSL) connection yet.
