Hi Dustin, thanks for the quick response. Please see my comments below. >You've really gone out of your way to run it as root. Why is it so >important to you to do that? I think it's a rather awful idea.
Can you please suggest the best way to run memcached, if running it as root a bad idea. Correcting my command (sudo memcached -d -m 10240 -u root -I 5120 -u root -l [host] -p 11311) would help me better understand. >Is the total size of your key and value larger than 5,120 bytes? I meant to run it with 5MB, so I have corrected it by changing it from 5120 to 5242880. It gave me a warning: #WARNING: Setting item max size above 1MB is not recommended! #Raising this limit increases the minimum memory requirements, and will decrease your memory efficiency. Yes, some of my objects are way too large close to 5 MB! Even after running memcached with 5MB, I still get the error message - Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot cache data larger than 1048576 bytes (1MB) (you tried to cache a 1828343 (1.74 MB) byte object) Thanks Abhilash
