[Seqan-dev] Client-server lambda?

[Jose Manuel Duarte <jose.duarte@psi.ch>]

After trying lambda a bit, I am quite impressed with the results. One 
logical question that comes with it, is whether a client-server 
implementation of the search would be possible.

As I understand it, loading the indexed database into memory takes quite 
some time (> 1 min for my db), then the multiquery search is very fast. 
That's fine if one has just a one-off multiple query. But for other 
use-cases one would want to query it from time to time. The optimal way 
to do that would be to have some kind of client-server system where the 
queries are served by a server having the db pre-loaded in memory.

This is for instance what BLAT or SANSparallel do. Is there any plans to 
implement such a feature in lambda? That would be an incredibly helpful 
feature.

Cheers
