Question

today I dealt with a task to load a module’s configuration into running Magento site under heavy load. I copied config.xml file of new module and everything to fix some issue.

Our Magento runs with memcached caching backend.

To have a module running I had to clear cache completly and that had an impack on performance of the site, we had 500 of concurent users . So I’m looking for solution how to deploy changes in of configuration without clearing cache.

Is there any?

Thanks for any thoughts and ideas.

Jaro.

Here is a method of updating the config cache rather than clearing it, thus avoiding race-conditions.
