MS RFC 22: Data adapter support

[Tamas Szekeres]

Folks,

According to the mapserver 5.0 development plan
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/release_plans/mapserver_5_0
we have planned to implement feature cache support for long running
processes and query processing. This support will increase the
performance of the long running processes by maintaining the features
from a previous query in an internal memory cache.

The first step to implement this feature is to provide a framework to
modify the behaviour of the  existing providers in an unified manner.
The changes described in RFC 22 will address this issue.

Any comments and suggestions will be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Tamas
