Class MemcachedEngine

Memcached storage engine for cache. Memcached has some limitations in the amount of control you have over expire times far in the future. See MemcachedEngine::write() for more information.

Main advantage of this Memcached engine over the memcached engine is support of binary protocol, and igbinary serialization (if memcached extension compiled with --enable-igbinary) Compressed keys can also be incremented/decremented

Cake\Cache\CacheEngine uses Cake\Core\InstanceConfigTrait

Method Summary

  • Backwards compatible alias of parseServerString
  • _setOptions() protected
    Settings the memcached instance
  • add() public
    Add a key to the cache if it does not already exist.
  • clear() public
    Delete all keys from the cache
  • clearGroup() public

    Increments the group value to simulate deletion of all keys under a group old values will remain in storage until they expire.

    Delete many keys from the cache at once
  • getOption() public
    Read an option value from the memcached connection.
  • groups() public

    Returns the group value for each of the configured groups If the group initial value was not found, then it initializes the group accordingly.

  • increment() public
    Increments the value of an integer cached key
  • init() public
    Initialize the Cache Engine
  • Parses the server address into the host/port. Handles both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses and Unix sockets

Properties detail

$_Memcachedsource

protected Memcached

memcached wrapper.

$_compiledGroupNamessource

protected string[]

[]

$_defaultConfigsource

protected array

The default config used unless overridden by runtime configuration

  • compress Whether to compress data
  • duration Specify how long items in this cache configuration last.
  • groups List of groups or 'tags' associated to every key stored in this config. handy for deleting a complete group from cache.
  • username Login to access the Memcache server
  • password Password to access the Memcache server
  • persistent The name of the persistent connection. All configurations using the same persistent value will share a single underlying connection.
  • prefix Prepended to all entries. Good for when you need to share a keyspace with either another cache config or another application.
  • probability Probability of hitting a cache gc cleanup. Setting to 0 will disable cache::gc from ever being called automatically.
  • serialize The serializer engine used to serialize data. Available engines are php, igbinary and json. Beside php, the memcached extension must be compiled with the appropriate serializer support.
  • servers String or array of memcached servers. If an array MemcacheEngine will use them as a pool.
  • options - Additional options for the memcached client. Should be an array of option => value. Use the \Memcached::OPT_* constants as keys.
