memcached lookups in apache module
Hi, I'm working on an apache module that basically rewrites URLs based on a simple memcached lookup. I've noticed that apr-util already comes with memcached functions but I'm wondering about the apr_memcache_server_create() argument semantics. Apparently I have to provide minimum, soft maximum, hard maximum and a time-to-live value and I'm not sure what values are sensible here. I'm dealing with ten webservers accessing ten memcached servers and there are going to be lookups between all systems all the time so I really don't need any dynamic behavior. What are good values for the minimum number of connections? 1, 10, 100? The hard maximum number is obvious but what is the purpose of the soft maximum number of connections? Thanks, Dennis

Look in trunk or 2.3.x instead of 2.2, and you have the readymade socache modules, including one which provides memcache. BTW, this would be more on-topic for the modules-dev list. -- Nick Kew

I've taken a quick look at mod_socache_memcache and mod_authn_socache and I think I've got an idea how to implement this. What is the status of 2.3/2.4? Is the current code semi production ready and do you know when 2.4 will be released? Regards, Dennis
