Hi,
I am introducing memcached in a server side infrastructure comprising
of C++, PHP and Python code. I understand that memcached clients are
available in C/PHP/Python. However I have few questions:
1. Is consistent hashing implemented in all memcached clients (C, PHP
and Python)
2. Even if consistent hashing is implemented in all memcached clients,
do the implementations agree? In other words (could not avoid the pun
here):
Is consistent hashing implemented consistently the same in all
memcached clients by following a standard?
If the answer is no, then I plan to use only libmemcached in the
architecture with access from C++/PHP/Python.
3. If I add/drop memcached servers, do I have to restart memcached
clients.
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise.
Best regards,
Soumen Sarkar
