Overview

Memcached Cache Store

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 provided, but ENV['MEMCACHE_SERVERS'] is defined, it will be used instead. Otherwise, MemCacheStore will connect to localhost:11211 (the default memcached port).

Class Method Details

.build_mem_cache(*addresses)

This method is for internal use only.

Creates a new Dalli::Client instance with specified addresses and options. If no addresses are provided, we give nil to Dalli::Client, so it uses its fallbacks:

  • ENV (if defined)

  • “127.0.0.1:11211” (otherwise)

    ActiveSupport::Cache::MemCacheStore.build_mem_cache

    # => #<Dalli::Client:0x007f98a47d2028 @servers=["127.0.0.1:11211"], @options={}, @ring=nil>

    ActiveSupport::Cache::MemCacheStore.build_mem_cache(‘localhost:10290’)

    # => #<Dalli::Client:0x007f98a47b3a60 @servers=["localhost:10290"], @options={}, @ring=nil>

    Dalli::Client.new(addresses, options)

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.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/cache/mem_cache_store.rb', line 171

def clear(options = nil)
  rescue_error_with(nil) { @data.with { |c| c.flush_all } }
end

#decrement(name, amount = 1, options = nil)

Decrement a cached integer value using the memcached decr atomic operator. Returns the updated value.

If the key is unset or has expired, it will be set to 0. Memcached does not support negative counters.

cache.decrement("foo") # => 0

To set a specific value, call #write passing raw: true:

cache.write("baz", 5, raw: true)
cache.decrement("baz") # => 4

Decrementing a non-numeric value, or a value written without raw: true, will fail and return nil.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/cache/mem_cache_store.rb', line 158

def decrement(name, amount = 1, options = nil)
  options = merged_options(options)
  key = normalize_key(name, options)

  instrument(:decrement, key, amount: amount) do
    rescue_error_with nil do
      @data.with { |c| c.decr(key, amount, options[:expires_in], 0) }
    end
  end
end

#delete_entry(key, **options) (private)

Delete an entry from the cache.

# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/cache/mem_cache_store.rb', line 238

def delete_entry(key, **options)
  rescue_error_with(false) { @data.with { |c| c.delete(key) } }

def deserialize_entry(payload, raw: false, **)
  if payload && raw
    Entry.new(payload)
  else
    super(payload)
  end
end

#increment(name, amount = 1, options = nil)

Increment a cached integer value using the memcached incr atomic operator. Returns the updated value.

If the key is unset or has expired, it will be set to amount:

cache.increment("foo") # => 1
cache.increment("bar", 100) # => 100

To set a specific value, call #write passing raw: true:

cache.write("baz", 5, raw: true)
cache.increment("baz") # => 6

Incrementing a non-numeric value, or a value written without raw: true, will fail and return nil.

# File 'activesupport/lib/active_support/cache/mem_cache_store.rb', line 132

def increment(name, amount = 1, options = nil)
  options = merged_options(options)

#normalize_key(key, options) (private)

Memcache keys are binaries. So we need to force their encoding to binary before applying the regular expression to ensure we are escaping all characters properly.

    if key.size > KEY_MAX_SIZE
      key_separator = ":hash:"
      key_hash = ActiveSupport::Digest.hexdigest(key)
      key_trim_size = KEY_MAX_SIZE - key_separator.size - key_hash.size
      key = "#{key[0, key_trim_size]}#{key_separator}#{key_hash}"
    end

  key
end

def stats
  @data.with { |c| c.stats }
end

#write(name, value, options = nil)

Behaves the same as Store#write, but supports additional options specific to memcached.

Additional Options

  • raw: true - Sends the value directly to the server as raw bytes. The value must be a string or number. You can use memcached direct operations like #increment and #decrement only on raw values.

  • unless_exist: true - Prevents overwriting an existing cache entry.
