Re: Largest production memcached install?

[Murty Chittivenkata]

Steve, are you replicating the hash data to hotspares or rebuilding in the event of failure from backend database? Thanks Murty We have a home-built management and monitoring system that keeps  track of all our servers, both memcached and other custom backend stuff. Some  of our other backend services are written memcached-style with fully  interchangeable instances; for such services, the monitoring system knows how  to take a hot spare and swap it into place when a live server has a failure.  When one of our memcached servers dies, a replacement is always up and running  in under a minute.
