GSoC 2014: Lua Scripting Support for Monkey, Week 11

I haven’t been able to figure out what is causing the looping issue that had been troubling me from last week. I have created a branch with the old version of plugin working in blocking mode. The plugin’s current execution model is not efficient as it might block the server thread and a thread based model is also scalable. Also I am creating a new lua_state instance per request which could be avoided.

I have identified similar areas for performance improvement and most important of all will be to use a coroutine based approach for executing the lua code similar to nginx’s lua module.I have started documenting everything that are working right now.In the coming weeks, I will complete the documentation and move on to fixing issues that I have identified.
