what would also be nice is if you could integrate the binary log replication into other systems, like what facebook is doing with memcached, and I would do with SOLR.

So you want the mysql replication system to be able to replicate arbitrary commands?

I'm not sure it's a general need, but for us we need to keep multiple data sources synchronized (solr, memcached, and other mysql schemas ), and are using tools like mule and talend to do this, and then using other replication tools to push it out to their slaves.

having other things being able to read the binlog would mean we could update those systems in a simpler fashion and speed our time to market, as well as remove 1/2 different systems from the architecture.

I have a library I wrote that has simple reading of the binary log (its public, though far from finished). The problem is writing to the binlog... at this point only an engine can do that.

I've seen someone hack up blackhole to pass executing messages. That is not that hard to do... for that matter we could simplify this through the new gearman stuff I am about to announce next week.
