Make sharedmemory named so you can run multiple osrm-routed instances

[emiltin]

loading data into separate named stores with osrm-datastore would support:

• running multiple profiles on the same production machine (car, bike, foot..)
• isolating tests, to make sure if doesn't affect already running processes

[DennisOSRM]

The plan for the futrure is to not need different named stores for multiple profiles.

[emiltin]

ok but isn't that almost the same - maintaining different datasets?

[TheMarex]

Not sure about the complexity involved here. I get the point that is is bad to assume you only have on osrm-routed instance running.

What Dennis is getting at is a possible OSRMv2 where you can store multiple profiles in memory (different algorithm). But this is quite a while way..

[emiltin]

the use case is providing different routing profiles on the same server, like car and bike, and making the required server setup simpler.

+1 on this feature

For the moment, I have 6 different routing profiles on the same server.
When I do an update, I restart the corresponding routing what results in a downtime of several minutes.
So I like this feature ;-)

Hey, so I was wondering if there are any estimations as to when this feature might be available?
I'm currently working on a project that integrates OSRM into PostgreSQL and as of now it's a bit limiting.
Anyhow, any work-around available for now? One way would probably be to load the files directly, but I'm quite sure that would really slow things down. Any suggestion would be really appreciated!

@pfannkuchengesicht Nobody is working on it at the moment AFAIK. Patches are always welcome though!

This was implemented in #4982.
