Hi
I need to cache a string (only about 120 bytes but requires lots of lookups
to generate) - the string will always be small, and there will be up to
40,000 of them
I'm presuming that each memcached daemon only has a limited number of
'slots' for each size of data?? Is that correct?
At the moment I only have 1 large memcached daemon running (2.5Gb) - the
problem I have is that after a while, even though the daemon is only using
about 500mb out of its 2.5Gb allocation, these strings stop getting cached
(ie its always a miss, I then cache it and next time i get a miss again -
even with a long expiration time) - this is annoying as there is obviously
enough memory available so I presume the problem must be the number stored
rather than memory allocated?
I also need to store a range of other data, so would it be best to setup a
memcached daemon that's somehow (?) tuned for this size of string and push
all request through to that, leaving another daemon for general use?
Thanks
