A few things I'd like to see: A method of determining how much space is left in your cache (per server). Right now (with 1.2.2), an evictions stat was added, but it only tells you when you've actually gone over the limit, not when you are approaching it. Better handling of the 'cur_items' stat - currently (as of 1.1.13; not sure if it changed), it only decrements when you try and access an expired item, not when the item expires. The stat is therefore too high if you have many items that expire without ever being retrieved. A method of retrieving all keys that are stored, similar to perls 'keys' function (when applied to a hash). I have no idea of the feasability of any of these items, I'm just tossing them out as a wishlist. Thanks! -ben p.s. I'm currently a sysadmin of memcache, rather than a user, so my desires center around managing the cluster of memcache servers. -- Ben Hartshorne email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ben.hartshorne.net
