Hi all, I have never used the app engine memcache before, so I would like to double check that I understand how expiration works.
I maintain a bit of state in memcache for each client, and I want the state to hang around as long as the client is alive, but go away after that. Reading the docs suggests that expiration is solely determined by insertion/update operations, so my client does a periodic .cas() on the state to move the expiration deadline forward. Is this a sensible implementation on app engine? My app is in Python if that makes a difference. The background is that clients poll for new events posted on the server. New events are inserted in event queues in memcache for each client, with a fallback of reading the events from datastore. -- Pertti -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
