I’m looking into using MemCached for a web application I am developing and after researching MemCached over the past few days, I have come across a question I could not find the answer to.
How do you link Memcached server together or how do you replicate data between MemCached server?
Additionally: Is this functionality controlled by the servers or the clients and how?
I’ve used BeITMemcached and in that you create an instance of MemcacheClient and set the servers you want to use, just as strings.
At that point the client itself determines which of the servers it has available to put different items into. You never know which an item will be in.
Check here to see how the servers handle failover.
The easiest thing is to have a repopulate mechanism. In my case, I store several hundred objects in memcache which come out of a database. I can just call repopulate and put them all back in there. Whenever I add, update or delete them to the database, I make those same calls to memcache.
