Despite what the post at the link below says, memcache is actually timing out and throwing a DeadlineExceededError. Furthermore, it hardly seems accurate to say that our apps should continue serving normally. The quota limits are so ridiculously low that we CAN'T serve pages without caching.

Calls to the memcache API will *not* throw exceptions but will instead return false for set() calls and None for get() calls (just like any other cache miss.) Your app should continue serving normally during this period, and we'll keep you updated on our progress. " Additonally, I'd like to make two suggestions: 1. If you're going to take down memcache, wouldn't it make sense to remove the quota limits? It hardly seems fair to penalized for exceeding quota when caching is disabled. 2. If you have to take down our apps for an hour, can you pick something like 2am - 3am? I know you don't want to go to work at 2am, but it's not really ok to take down our apps for an hour during prime- time. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
