Overview

A cache store implementation which stores data in Memcached: memcached.org/

This is currently the most popular cache store for production websites.

Special features:

  • Clustering and load balancing. One can specify multiple memcached servers, and MemCacheStore will load balance between all available servers. If a server goes down, then MemCacheStore will ignore it until it comes back up.

MemCacheStore implements the Strategy::LocalCache strategy which implements an in-memory cache inside of a block.

Constructor Details

.new(*addresses) ⇒ MemCacheStore

Creates a new MemCacheStore object, with the given memcached server addresses. Each address is either a host name, or a host-with-port string in the form of “host_name:port”. For example:

ActiveSupport::Cache::MemCacheStore.new("localhost", "server-downstairs.localnetwork:8229")

If no addresses are specified, then MemCacheStore will connect to localhost port 11211 (the default memcached port).

end

Instance Method Details

#clear(options = nil)

Clear the entire cache on all memcached servers. This method should be used with care when shared cache is being used.

# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/cache/mem_cache_store.rb', line 109

def clear(options = nil)
  @data.flush_all
rescue Dalli::DalliError => e
  logger.error("DalliError (#{e}): #{e.message}") if logger
  nil
end

#read_multi(*names)

Reads multiple values from the cache using a single call to the servers for all keys. Options can be passed in the last argument.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/cache/mem_cache_store.rb', line 66

def read_multi(*names)
  options = names.extract_options!
  options = merged_options(options)
  keys_to_names = Hash[names.map{|name| [escape_key(namespaced_key(name, options)), name]}]
  raw_values = @data.get_multi(keys_to_names.keys)
  values = {}
  raw_values.each do |key, value|
    entry = deserialize_entry(value)
    values[keys_to_names[key]] = entry.value unless entry.expired?
  end
