#initialize(*args) ⇒ MemCache

Accepts a list of servers and a list of opts. servers may be omitted. See servers= for acceptable server list arguments.

Valid options for opts are:

[:namespace]    Prepends this value to all keys added or retrieved.
[:readonly]     Raises an exception on cache writes when true.
[:multithread]  Wraps cache access in a Mutex for thread safety. Defaults to true.
[:failover]     Should the client try to failover to another server if the
                first server is down?  Defaults to true.
[:timeout]      Time to use as the socket read timeout.  Defaults to 0.5 sec,
                set to nil to disable timeouts.
[:logger]       Logger to use for info/debug output, defaults to nil
[:no_reply]     Don't bother looking for a reply for write operations (i.e. they
                become 'fire and forget'), memcached 1.2.5 and later only, speeds up
                set/add/delete/incr/decr significantly.
[:check_size]   Raises a MemCacheError if the value to be set is greater than 1 MB, which
                is the maximum key size for the standard memcached server.  Defaults to true.
[:autofix_keys] If a key is longer than 250 characters or contains spaces, 
                use an SHA1 hash instead, to prevent collisions on truncated keys.

Other options are ignored.

Instance Attribute Details

#autofix_keysObject (readonly)

Whether to try to fix keys that are too long and will be truncated by using their SHA1 hash instead. The hash is only used on keys longer than 250 characters, or containing spaces, to avoid impacting performance unnecesarily.

In theory, your code should generate correct keys when calling memcache, so it’s your responsibility and you should try to fix this problem at its source.

But if that’s not possible, enable this option and memcache-client will give you a hand.

#add(key, value, expiry = 0, raw = false) ⇒ Object

Add key to the cache with value value that expires in expiry seconds, but only if key does not already exist in the cache. If raw is true, value will not be Marshalled.

#cas(key, expiry = 0, raw = false) ⇒ Object

“cas” is a check and set operation which means “store this data but only if no one else has updated since I last fetched it.” This can be used as a form of optimistic locking.

Works in block form like so:

cache.cas('some-key') do |value|
  value + 1
end

Returns: nil if the value was not found on the memcached server. STORED if the value was updated successfully EXISTS if the value was updated by someone else since last fetch

#flush_all(delay = 0) ⇒ Object

Flush the cache from all memcache servers. A non-zero value for delay will ensure that the flush is propogated slowly through your memcached server farm. The Nth server will be flushed N*delay seconds from now, asynchronously so this method returns quickly. This prevents a huge database spike due to a total flush all at once.

#get_multi(*keys) ⇒ Object

Retrieves multiple values from memcached in parallel, if possible.

The memcached protocol supports the ability to retrieve multiple keys in a single request. Pass in an array of keys to this method and it will:

  1. map the key to the appropriate memcached server

  2. send a single request to each server that has one or more key values

Returns a hash of values.

cache["a"] = 1
cache["b"] = 2
cache.get_multi "a", "b" # => { "a" => 1, "b" => 2 }

Note that get_multi assumes the values are marshalled.

#with_socket_management(server, &block) ⇒ Object

Gets or creates a socket connected to the given server, and yields it to the block, wrapped in a mutex synchronization if @multithread is true.

If a socket error (SocketError, SystemCallError, IOError) or protocol error (MemCacheError) is raised by the block, closes the socket, attempts to connect again, and retries the block (once). If an error is again raised, reraises it as MemCacheError.

If unable to connect to the server (or if in the reconnect wait period), raises MemCacheError. Note that the socket connect code marks a server dead for a timeout period, so retrying does not apply to connection attempt failures (but does still apply to unexpectedly lost connections etc.).
