Constructor Details

#initialize(servers = nil, options = {}) ⇒ Client

Dalli::Client is the main class which developers will use to interact with the memcached server. Usage:

Dalli::Client.new(['localhost:11211:10',
                 'cache-2.example.com:11211:5',
                 '192.168.0.1:22122:5',
                 '/var/run/memcached/socket'],
                failover: true, expires_in: 300)

servers is an Array of "host:port:weight" where weight allows you to distribute cache unevenly. Both weight and port are optional. If you pass in nil, Dalli will use the MEMCACHE_SERVERS environment variable or default to 'localhost:11211' if it is not present. Dalli also supports the ability to connect to Memcached on localhost through a UNIX socket. To use this functionality, use a full pathname (beginning with a slash character '/') in place of the "host:port" pair in the server configuration.

Options:

  • :namespace - prepend each key with this value to provide simple namespacing.
  • :failover - if a server is down, look for and store values on another server in the ring. Default: true.
  • :threadsafe - ensure that only one thread is actively using a socket at a time. Default: true.
  • :expires_in - default TTL in seconds if you do not pass TTL as a parameter to an individual operation, defaults to 0 or forever.
  • :compress - if true Dalli will compress values larger than compression_min_size bytes before sending them to memcached. Default: true.
  • :compression_min_size - the minimum size (in bytes) for which Dalli will compress values sent to Memcached. Defaults to 4K.
  • :serializer - defaults to Marshal
  • :compressor - defaults to Dalli::Compressor, a Zlib-based implementation
  • :cache_nils - defaults to false, if true Dalli will not treat cached nil values as 'not found' for #fetch operations.
  • :raw - If set, disables serialization and compression entirely at the client level. Only String values are supported. This is useful when the caller handles its own serialization (e.g., Rails' ActiveSupport::Cache). Note: this is different from the per-request :raw option which converts values to strings but still uses the serialization pipeline.
  • :digest_class - defaults to Digest::MD5, allows you to pass in an object that responds to the hexdigest method, useful for injecting a FIPS compliant hash object.
  • :otel_db_statement - controls the db.query.text span attribute when OpenTelemetry is loaded. :include logs the full operation and key(s), :obfuscate replaces keys with "?", nil (default) omits the attribute entirely.
  • :otel_peer_service - when set, adds a peer.service span attribute with this value for logical service naming.

Instance Method Details

#add(key, value, ttl = nil, req_options = nil) ⇒ Object

Conditionally add a key/value pair, if the key does not already exist on the server. Returns truthy if the operation succeeded.

  ring.server_for_key('')
end

#append(key, value, req_options = nil) ⇒ Object

Append value to the value already stored on the server for 'key'. Appending only works for values stored with :raw => true.

#cas(key, ttl = nil, req_options = nil) ⇒ Object

compare and swap values using optimistic locking. Fetch the existing value for key. If it exists, yield the value to the block. Add the block's return value as the new value for the key. Add will fail if someone else changed the value.

Returns:

  • nil if the key did not exist.
  • false if the value was changed by someone else.
  • true if the value was successfully updated.

end

#cas!(key, ttl = nil, req_options = nil) ⇒ Object

like #cas, but will yield to the block whether or not the value already exists.

Returns:

  • false if the value was changed by someone else.
  • true if the value was successfully updated.

end

#decr(key, amt = 1, ttl = nil, default = nil, req_options = nil) ⇒ Object

Decr subtracts the given amount from the counter on the memcached server. Amt must be a positive integer value.

memcached counters are unsigned and cannot hold negative values. Calling decr on a counter which is 0 will just return 0.

If default is nil, the counter must already exist or the operation will fail and will return nil. Otherwise this method will return the new value for the counter.

Note that the ttl will only apply if the counter does not already exist. To decrease an existing counter and update its TTL, use #cas.

If the value already exists, it must have been set with raw: true

  validate_routing_tokens!(req_options)

  perform(:decr, key, amt.to_i, ttl_or_default(ttl), default, req_options)
end

#delete(key, req_options = nil) ⇒ Object

Delete a key.

req_options may include the memcached meta-delete options:

  • :invalidate (Boolean) — mark the item stale instead of removing it. This is the tombstone: readers see stale: true from #get_with_metadata and #get_multi_with_metadata, and the existing value is still readable unless :drop_value is also set. A tombstoned key is not a miss, which lets a reader tell "another process is repopulating this" apart from "this was never here".

  • :tombstone_ttl (Integer seconds) — how long the stale marker lives. Requires :invalidate; memcached only honors the TTL on a delete when it accompanies the invalidate flag, so passing it alone raises ArgumentError rather than sending a request the server would treat differently than intended. Once it elapses, reads see a miss.

  • :drop_value (Boolean) — remove the item's value but leave the item, so a tombstone need not retain the old payload. On its own it is not a tombstone: reads are an ordinary hit with an empty value.

  • :p_token/:l_token (String) — opaque routing tokens for an intermediate proxy or router; see #get.

    dc.delete('key', invalidate: true, tombstone_ttl: 30, drop_value: true)

Parameters:

  • key (String)

    the key to delete

  • req_options (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    meta-delete options

# File 'lib/dalli/client.rb', line 476

def delete(key, req_options = nil)
  delete_cas(key, 0, req_options)
end

#delete_cas(key, cas = 0, req_options = nil) ⇒ Object

Delete a key/value pair, verifying existing CAS. Returns true if succeeded, and falsy otherwise. Delete a key, optionally with a CAS check.

req_options accepts the same meta-delete options as #delete.

def delete_cas(key, cas = 0, req_options = nil)
  validate_delete_options!(req_options)
  validate_routing_tokens!(req_options)
  perform(:delete, key, cas, req_options)
end

#delete_multi(keys, req_options = nil) ⇒ Integer

Delete multiple keys efficiently using pipelining. This method is more efficient than calling delete() in a loop because it batches requests by server and uses quiet mode.

req_options accepts the same meta-delete options as #delete and applies them to every key in the batch.

Example:

client.delete_multi(['key1', 'key2', 'key3'])
client.delete_multi(%w[key1 key2], invalidate: true, tombstone_ttl: 30)

Parameters:

  • keys (Array<String>)

    keys to delete

  • req_options (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    meta-delete options

Returns:

  • (Integer)

    the number of keys the server found and acted on. Only a key that did not exist decrements this count, so with :invalidate it reports how many keys were tombstoned rather than removed -- the action is whichever one the caller asked for. This is best-effort: a transient network error is retried automatically, and keys handled before the error are not recounted, so the result may under-report when a retry occurs. If a server remains unreachable after retrying, raises Dalli::NetworkError.

#fetch(key, ttl = nil, req_options = nil) ⇒ Object

Fetch the value associated with the key. If a value is found, then it is returned.

If a value is not found and no block is given, then nil is returned.

If a value is not found (or if the found value is nil and :cache_nils is false) and a block is given, the block will be invoked and its return value written to the cache and returned.

end

#fetch_with_lock(key, ttl: nil, lock_ttl: 30, recache_threshold: nil, req_options: nil) { ... } ⇒ Object

Fetch the value with thundering herd protection using the meta protocol's N (vivify) and R (recache) flags.

This method prevents multiple clients from simultaneously regenerating the same cache entry (the "thundering herd" problem). Only one client wins the right to regenerate; other clients receive the stale value (if available) or wait.

Examples:

Basic usage

client.fetch_with_lock('expensive_key', ttl: 300, lock_ttl: 30) do
  expensive_database_query
end

With proactive recaching (recache before expiry)

client.fetch_with_lock('key', ttl: 300, lock_ttl: 30, recache_threshold: 60) do
  expensive_operation
end

Parameters:

  • key (String)

    the cache key

  • ttl (Integer) (defaults to: nil)

    time-to-live for the cached value in seconds

  • lock_ttl (Integer) (defaults to: 30)

    how long the lock/stub lives (default: 30 seconds) This is the maximum time other clients will return stale data while waiting for regeneration. Should be longer than your expected regeneration time.

  • recache_threshold (Integer, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    if set, win the recache race when the item's remaining TTL is below this threshold. Useful for proactive recaching.

  • req_options (Hash) (defaults to: nil)

    options passed to set operations (e.g., raw: true)

Yields:

  • Block to regenerate the value (only called if this client won the race)

Returns:

  • (Object)

    the cached value (may be stale if another client is regenerating)

end

#get_multi(*keys, req_options: nil) ⇒ Object

Fetch multiple keys efficiently. If a block is given, yields key/value pairs one at a time. Otherwise returns a hash of { 'key' => 'value', 'key2' => 'value1' }

req_options accepts :p_token/:l_token, applied to every key in the batch.

A transient network error is retried automatically. If a server remains unreachable after retrying, raises Dalli::NetworkError rather than silently omitting that server's keys from the result.

end

#get_multi_with_metadata(*keys, req_options: nil, &block) ⇒ Hash

Fetch multiple keys efficiently, returning a stale-aware metadata Hash per key. If a block is given, yields key/metadata pairs one at a time.

Like #get_multi and #get_multi_cas, keys that were not found are omitted from the result -- absence is the miss. A tombstoned item (see #delete with the meta protocol's invalidate flag) is not a miss: it is returned with stale: true, possibly with an empty value, which is the distinction stale-aware callers need.

client.('a', 'b', 'absent')
# => { 'a' => { value: 'v', cas: 12, stale: false, miss: false },
#      'b' => { value: '',  cas: 13, stale: true,  miss: false } }

Missing keys are requested - result.keys.

Result key order matches request order only when every key lands on the same server; across multiple servers it follows per-server response order instead, the same as #get_multi.

req_options accepts :p_token/:l_token, applied to every key in the batch.

Parameters:

  • keys (Array<String>)

    the keys to fetch

  • req_options (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    routing-token options

Returns:

  • (Hash)

    key => { value:, cas:, stale:, miss: }

#get_with_metadata(key, options = {}) ⇒ Hash

Get value with extended metadata.

Examples:

Get with hit status

result = client.('key', return_hit_status: true)
# => { value: "data", cas: 123, miss: false, hit_before: true }

Get with all metadata without affecting LRU

result = client.('key',

  return_last_access: true,
  skip_lru_bump: true
)
# => { value: "data", cas: 123, hit_before: true, last_access: 42 }

Parameters:

  • key (String)

    the cache key

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    options controlling what metadata to return

    • :return_cas [Boolean] return the CAS value (default: true)
    • :return_hit_status [Boolean] return whether item was previously accessed
    • :return_last_access [Boolean] return seconds since last access
    • :return_ttl_remaining [Boolean] return seconds of TTL remaining (-1 if no TTL)
    • :skip_lru_bump [Boolean] don't bump LRU or update access stats

Returns:

  • (Hash)

    containing:

    • :value - the cached value (or nil on miss)
    • :cas - the CAS value
    • :miss - true when the key does not exist. Always present. Prefer it over a nil :value, which cannot distinguish a miss from a stored nil under cache_nils
    • :hit_before - true/false if previously accessed (only if return_hit_status: true)
    • :last_access - seconds since last access (only if return_last_access: true)
    • :ttl_remaining - seconds of TTL remaining, -1 when the item has no expiry (only if return_ttl_remaining: true)

#incr(key, amt = 1, ttl = nil, default = nil, req_options = nil) ⇒ Object

Incr adds the given amount to the counter on the memcached server. Amt must be a positive integer value.

If default is nil, the counter must already exist or the operation will fail and will return nil. Otherwise this method will return the new value for the counter.

Note that the ttl will only apply if the counter does not already exist. To increase an existing counter and update its TTL, use #cas.

If the value already exists, it must have been set with raw: true

#quietObject Also known as: multi

Turn on quiet aka noreply support for a number of memcached operations.

All relevant operations within this block will be effectively pipelined as Dalli will use 'quiet' versions. The invoked methods will all return nil, rather than their usual response. Method latency will be substantially lower, as the caller will not be blocking on responses.

Currently supports storage (set, add, replace, append, prepend), arithmetic (incr, decr), flush and delete operations. Use of unsupported operations inside a block will raise an error.

Any error replies will be discarded at the end of the block, and Dalli client methods invoked inside the block will not have return values

#set_multi(hash, ttl = nil, req_options = nil) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Set multiple keys and values efficiently using pipelining. This method is more efficient than calling set() in a loop because it batches requests by server and uses quiet mode.

A transient network error is retried automatically. If a server remains unreachable after retrying, raises Dalli::NetworkError; keys already sent to other servers before the error are not rolled back.

Example:

client.set_multi({ 'key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2' }, 300)

Parameters:

  • hash (Hash)

    key-value pairs to set

  • ttl (Integer) (defaults to: nil)

    time-to-live in seconds (optional, uses default if not provided)

  • req_options (Hash) (defaults to: nil)

    options passed to each set operation; accepts :p_token/:l_token, applied to every key in the batch

Raises:

#stats(type = nil) ⇒ Object

Collect the stats for each server. You can optionally pass a type including :items, :slabs or :settings to get specific stats Returns a hash like { 'hostname:port' => { 'stat1' => 'value1', ... }, 'hostname2:port' => { ... } }
