== Features
|
|
|
|
* clean API
|
|
* robust access to all memcached features
|
|
* multiple hashing modes, including consistent hashing
|
|
* ludicrous speed, including optional pipelined IO with no_reply
|
|
|
|
The <b>memcached</b> library wraps the pure-C libmemcached client via SWIG.
|
|
|
|
== Installation
|
|
|
|
You need Ruby 1.8.7 or Ruby 1.9.2. Other versions may work, but are not guaranteed. You also need the libsasl2-dev library, which should be provided through your system's package manager.
|
|
|
|
Install the gem:
|
|
sudo gem install memcached --no-rdoc --no-ri
|
|
|
|
== Usage
|
|
|
|
Start a local networked memcached server:
|
|
$ memcached -p 11211 &
|
|
|
|
Now, in Ruby, require the library and instantiate a Memcached object at a global level:
|
|
|
|
require 'memcached'
|
|
$cache = Memcached.new("localhost:11211")
|
|
|
|
Now you can set things and get things:
|
|
|
|
value = 'hello'
|
|
$cache.set 'test', value
|
|
$cache.get 'test' #=> "hello"
|
|
|
|
You can set with an expiration timeout:
|
|
|
|
value = 'hello'
|
|
$cache.set 'test', value, 1
|
|
sleep(2)
|
|
$cache.get 'test' #=> raises Memcached::NotFound
|
|
|
|
You can get multiple values at once:
|
|
|
|
value = 'hello'
|
|
$cache.set 'test', value
|
|
$cache.set 'test2', value
|
|
$cache.get ['test', 'test2', 'missing']
|
|
#=> {"test" => "hello", "test2" => "hello"}
|
|
|
|
You can set a counter and increment it:
|
|
|
|
start = 1
|
|
$cache.set 'counter', start, 0, false
|
|
$cache.increment 'counter' #=> 2
|
|
$cache.increment 'counter' #=> 3
|
|
$cache.get('counter', false).to_i #=> 3
|
|
|
|
You can get some server stats:
|
|
|
|
$cache.stats #=> {..., :bytes_written=>[62], :version=>["1.2.4"] ...}
|
|
|
|
Note that the API is not the same as that of <b>Ruby-MemCache</b> or <b>memcache-client</b>. In particular, <tt>nil</tt> is a valid record value. Memcached#get does not return <tt>nil</tt> on failure, rather it raises <b>Memcached::NotFound</b>. This is consistent with the behavior of memcached itself. For example:
|
|
|
|
$cache.set 'test', nil
|
|
$cache.get 'test' #=> nil
|
|
$cache.delete 'test'
|
|
$cache.get 'test' #=> raises Memcached::NotFound
|
|
|
|
== Legacy applications
|
|
|
|
There is a compatibility wrapper for legacy applications called Memcached::Rails.
|
|
|
|
== Threading
|
|
|
|
<b>memcached</b> is threadsafe, but each thread requires its own Memcached instance. Create a global Memcached, and then call Memcached#clone each time you spawn a thread.
|
|
|
|
thread = Thread.new do
|
|
cache = $cache.clone
|
|
# Perform operations on cache, not $cache
|
|
cache.set 'example', 1
|
|
cache.get 'example'
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
# Join the thread so that exceptions don't get lost
|
|
thread.join
|
|
|
|
== Benchmarks
|
|
|
|
<b>memcached</b>, correctly configured, is at least twice as fast as <b>memcache-client</b> and <b>dalli</b>. See BENCHMARKS[link:files/BENCHMARKS.html] for details.
