Attila Kisk??, known for creating the Enyim .NET memcached client, has been working on improving his library to communicate directly with membase data nodes, which enhances performance beyond the existing high-performance proxy that supports all memcached client libraries and protocols. This development has led to a guide on the membase.org wiki for creating native or "smart" membase client libraries, allowing developers to build their own versions in their preferred programming languages. Starting with a memcached client library that uses the binary protocol is recommended, with particular emphasis on managing Rebalance operations to maintain cluster elasticity without data loss, offering an engaging challenge for developers.
