Sorry please ignore my last message,
it was going wrong, what i set was the value, not the key

Did you just put an item with that 300 chars key and got it back. If
so, it could have been truncated to 255 and since you didnt submit
another item with the same first 255 chars in the key, you got it
back...
Makes sense?

Hi everybody,
As far as I know the maximum key size for an item in memcached is 250
and can be extended to 255. I've just installed the lastest version of
memcached on my Ubuntu and tried to set an item with length of 300 and
600. I was surprise that it was set correctly, even using get/set
command, C/C++ library libmemcached or memcached extension of PHP.
I checked the source code, in memcached.h :
typedef struct _stritem {
.................
uint8_t nkey; /* key length, w/terminating null and
padding */
................
} item;
the type of key length is still uint8_t which is 1 byte, how can it
manage with key length 300 and 600 ?
