There's no actual 'housecleaning' per se, just lazy expiration and eviction. If an item's expiration time is reached, the next time its key is requested, the lookup fails. If the server is out of memory, it'll evict expired items first, but if nothing's expired, will start evicting things in a leas

Part of the disconnect is that, "how do I have to run memcached to 'store' these sessions in memcached," is not a concrete question. It's wibbly wobbly at best to try and achieve this behavior, and, "You can't," _is_ concrete in that there is no way to do this in a mathematically provable way. The

The key is run through a hash function (client lib-depending), and it's sent to the server whose list index is that value mod(num_servers). It's not _perfectly_ spreading load, but on the order which most memcached installations run, it's close enough. On May 30, 2009, at 9:34 AM, Andy w
