Overview

A Ruby client library for memcached.

This is intended to provide access to basic memcached functionality. It does not attempt to be complete implementation of the entire API, but it is approaching a complete implementation.

Defined Under Namespace

Classes: MemCacheError, Server

{
  :namespace   => nil,
  :readonly    => false,

Constructor Details

#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 exeception on cache writes when true.
[:multithread] Wraps cache access in a Mutex for thread safety.

Other options are ignored.

Instance Method Details

#[]=(key, value) ⇒ Object

Shortcut to save a value in the cache. This method does not set an expiration on the entry. Use set to specify an explicit expiry.

# File 'lib/gems/memcache-client-1.5.0/lib/memcache.rb', line 485

def []=(key, value)
  set key, value
end

#active? ⇒ Boolean

Returns whether there is at least one active server for the object.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

end

#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.

Readers should call this method in the event of a cache miss, not MemCache#set or MemCache#[]=.

#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 }
