Am I right in thinking that memcached splits records between servers, without any replication/duplication, and that if a server were to go down for any reason the records on that server would be lost?
My original understanding was that the memcached servers would make duplicates in different locations, or shard the data in some way so that if a server was lost the records it contained would be recoverable. Someone has challenged this thinking, and I'd like to ensure my understanding is correct. Can someone enlighten me as to what the correct working state is?
