I am building a social network site, which involves a lot of activities by users. I am using memcache to keep track of "who is online". Whenever a user access my site, I store some user information (name, etc.) to memcache using the user id as the memcache key. By making the memcache timer short (a few minutes), I am able to quickly detect a particular user is on-line or not.
In order to fully optimize this algorithm, I would like to know if the memcache timer (started as the result of previous memcache.set) will be reset when I call memcache.get or not. If memcache.get does reset the timer, I will simply call memcache.get each time the user accesses the site, and do nothing if it succeeds (and call memcache.set if it fails). If it does not, I need to call memcache.set whenever the user access the site (to explicitly reset the timer). I'd appreciate your help.
