Is it possible to create custom cache storage driver?

I see the existing drivers are under core/classes/cache/storage and extends from Cache_Storage_Driver.

Because I got my code from git, I want to keep core package not changed and be able update easily later.

So is there a way I can create my custom cache storage driver under fuel/app and get it loaded and use with Cache?

P.S. Side reason is because there is a bug Memcached connecting to Couchbase will fail on getStats(), which results having FuelException while there is no problem with Set/Get in usage. So I want to create custom cache driver that will be use against Couchbase.

I found out Cache is constructing the storage driver class by calling:

		$class = '\\Cache_Storage_'.ucfirst($config['driver']);

		// Convert the name to a string when necessary
		$identifier = call_user_func($class.'::stringify_identifier', $identifier);

		// Return instance of the requested cache object
		return new $class($identifier, $config);

So I created my couchbase.php under /fuel/app/classes/cache/storage/ and its works fine!

Please let me know if there is better way :)

Nope, that is fine, how it should be. This easy extendibility is the main reason why Fuel aliases it's classes.

Thanks Harro!
