Hi all, Suppose I have, say, 5 memcached servers and 3 clients. Let's say all the processes are fine, but for whatever reason, a connection between one client and one server is lost, e.g. there's a timeout and the socket closes.
Now what? The one client now only see 4 servers, but the other 2 clients see 3 servers. Whether you're using hash mod number of machines or consistent hashing, different clients will look on different machines for the same key. This must be common enough that there's a standard solution, no? Do clients typically try to reconnect to servers periodically? Do you just live with the duplicates? Or does everyone tend to have just a single client? The vBuckets blog post didn't describe how different clients keep their vBuckets in sync, making me think that people typically only have a single client per set of memecached servers. Thanks, Martin
