DESCRIPTION

Cache::Memcahced::Fast is a Perl client for memcached, a memory cache daemon (http://www.danga.com/memcached/). Module core is implemented in C and tries hard to minimize number of system calls and to avoid any key/value copying for speed. As a result, it has very low CPU consumption.

API is largely compatible with Cache::Memcached, original pure Perl client, most users of the original module may start using this module by installing it and adding "::Fast" to the old name in their scripts (see "Compatibility with Cache::Memcached" below for full details).

CONSTRUCTOR

new

my $memd = new Cache::Memcached::Fast($params);

Create new client object. $params is a reference to a hash with client parameters. Currently recognized keys are:

servers

servers => [ { address => 'localhost:11211', weight => 2.5 },
             '192.168.254.2:11211',
             { address => '/path/to/unix.sock', noreply => 1 } ],
(default: none)

The value is a reference to an array of server addresses. Each address is either a scalar, a hash reference, or an array reference (for compatibility with Cache::Memcached, deprecated). If hash reference, the keys are address (scalar), weight (positive rational number), and noreply (boolean flag). The server address is in the form host:port for network TCP connections, or /path/to/unix.sock for local Unix socket connections. When weight is not given, 1 is assumed. Client will distribute keys across servers proportionally to server weights.

If you want to get key distribution compatible with Cache::Memcached, all server weights should be integer, and their sum should be less than 32768.

When noreply is enabled, commands executed in a void context will instruct the server to not send the reply. Compare with "nowait" below. memcached server implements noreply starting with version 1.2.5. If you enable noreply for earlier server versions, things will go wrongly, and the client will eventually block. Use with care.

namespace

namespace => 'my::'
(default: '')

The value is a scalar that will be prepended to all key names passed to the memcached server. By using different namespaces clients avoid interference with each other.

hash_namespace

hash_namespace => 1
(default: disabled)

The value is a boolean which enables (true) or disables (false) the hashing of the namespace key prefix. By default for compatibility with Cache::Memcached namespace prefix is not hashed along with the key. Thus

namespace => 'prefix/',
...
$memd->set('key', $val);

may use different memcached server than

namespace => '',
...
$memd->set('prefix/key', $val);

because hash values of 'key' and 'prefix/key' may be different.

However sometimes is it necessary to hash the namespace prefix, for instance for interoperability with other clients that do not have the notion of the namespace. When hash_namespace is enabled, both examples above will use the same server, the one that 'prefix/key' is mapped to. Note that there's no performance penalty then, as namespace prefix is hashed only once. See "namespace".

nowait

nowait => 1
(default: disabled)

The value is a boolean which enables (true) or disables (false) nowait mode. If enabled, when you call a method that only returns its success status (like "set"), in a void context, it sends the request to the server and returns immediately, not waiting the reply. This avoids the round-trip latency at a cost of uncertain command outcome.

Internally there is a counter of how many outstanding replies there should be, and on any command the client reads and discards any replies that have already arrived. When you later execute some method in a non-void context, all outstanding replies will be waited for, and then the reply for this command will be read and returned.

connect_timeout

connect_timeout => 0.7
(default: 0.25 seconds)

The value is a non-negative rational number of seconds to wait for connection to establish. Applies only to network connections. Zero disables timeout, but keep in mind that operating systems have their own heuristic connect timeout.

Note that network connect process consists of several steps: destination host address lookup, which may return several addresses in general case (especially for IPv6, see http://people.redhat.com/drepper/linux-rfc3484.html and http://people.redhat.com/drepper/userapi-ipv6.html), then the attempt to connect to one of those addresses. connect_timeout applies only to one such connect, i.e. to one connect(2) call. Thus overall connect process may take longer than connect_timeout seconds, but this is unavoidable.

io_timeout (or deprecated select_timeout)

io_timeout => 0.5
(default: 1.0 seconds)

The value is a non-negative rational number of seconds to wait before giving up on communicating with the server(s). Zero disables timeout.

Note that for commands that communicate with more than one server (like "get_multi") the timeout applies per server set, not per each server. Thus it won't expire if one server is quick enough to communicate, even if others are silent. But if some servers are dead those alive will finish communication, and then dead servers would timeout.

close_on_error

close_on_error => 0
(default: enabled)

The value is a boolean which enables (true) or disables (false) close_on_error mode. When enabled, any error response from the memcached server would make client close the connection. Note that such "error response" is different from "negative response". The latter means the server processed the command and yield negative result. The former means the server failed to process the command for some reason. close_on_error is enabled by default for safety. Consider the following scenario:

1 Client want to set some value, but mistakenly sends malformed command (this can't happen with current module of course ;)):

set key 10\r\n
value_data\r\n

2 Memcahced server reads first line, 'set key 10', and can't parse it, because there's wrong number of tokens in it. So it sends

ERROR\r\n

3 Then the server reads 'value_data' while it is in accept-command state! It can't parse it either (hopefully), and sends another

ERROR\r\n

But the client expects one reply per command, so after sending the next command it will think that the second 'ERROR' is a reply for this new command. This means that all replies will shift, including replies for "get" commands! By closing the connection we eliminate such possibility.

When connection dies, or the client receives the reply that it can't understand, it closes the socket regardless the close_on_error setting.

compress_threshold

compress_threshold => 10_000
(default: -1)

The value is an integer. When positive it denotes the threshold size in bytes: data with the size equal or larger than this should be compressed. See "compress_ratio" and "compress_methods" below.

Negative value disables compression.

compress_ratio

compress_ratio => 0.9
(default: 0.8)

The value is a fractional number between 0 and 1. When "compress_threshold" triggers the compression, compressed size should be less or equal to (original-size * compress_ratio). Otherwise the data will be stored uncompressed.

compress_methods

compress_methods => [ \&IO::Compress::Gzip::gzip,
                      \&IO::Uncompress::Gunzip::gunzip ]
(default: [ sub { ${$_[1]} = Compress::Zlib::memGzip(${$_[0]}) },
            sub { ${$_[1]} = Compress::Zlib::memGunzip(${$_[0]}) } ]
 when Compress::Zlib is available)

The value is a reference to an array holding two code references for compression and decompression routines respectively.

Compression routine is called when the size of the $value passed to "set" method family is greater than or equal to "compress_threshold" (also see "compress_ratio"). The fact that compression was performed is remembered along with the data, and decompression routine is called on data retrieval with "get" method family. The interface of these routines should be the same as for IO::Compress family (for instance see IO::Compress::Gzip::gzip and IO::Uncompress::Gunzip::gunzip). I.e. compression routine takes a reference to scalar value and a reference to scalar where compressed result will be stored. Decompression routine takes a reference to scalar with compressed data and a reference to scalar where uncompressed result will be stored. Both routines should return true on success, and false on error.

By default we use Compress::Zlib because as of this writing it appears to be much faster than IO::Uncompress::Gunzip.

max_failures

max_failures => 3
(default: 0)

The value is a non-negative integer. When positive, if there happened max_failures in failure_timeout seconds, the client does not try to connect to this particular server for another failure_timeout seconds. Value of zero disables this behaviour.

failure_timeout

failure_timeout => 30
(default: 10 seconds)

The value is a positive integer number of seconds. See "max_failures".

ketama_points

ketama_points => 150
(default: 0)

The value is a non-negative integer. When positive, enables the Ketama consistent hashing algorithm (http://www.last.fm/user/RJ/journal/2007/04/10/392555/), and specifies the number of points the server with weight 1 will be mapped to. Thus each server will be mapped to ketama_points * weight points in continuum. Larger value will result in more uniform distribution. Note that the number of internal bucket structures, and hence memory consumption, will be proportional to sum of such products. But bucket structures themselves are small (two integers each), so you probably shouldn't worry.

Zero value disables the Ketama algorithm. See also server weight in "servers" above.

serialize_methods

serialize_methods => [ \&Storable::freeze, \&Storable::thaw ],
(default: [ \&Storable::nfreeze, \&Storable::thaw ])

The value is a reference to an array holding two code references for serialization and deserialization routines respectively.

Serialization routine is called when the $value passed to "set" method family is a reference. The fact that serialization was performed is remembered along with the data, and deserialization routine is called on data retrieval with "get" method family. The interface of these routines should be the same as for Storable::nfreeze and Storable::thaw. I.e. serialization routine takes a reference and returns a scalar string; it should not fail. Deserialization routine takes scalar string and returns a reference; if deserialization fails (say, wrong data format) it should throw an exception (call die). The exception will be caught by the module and "get" will then pretend that the key hasn't been found.

utf8 (experimental, Perl 5.8.1 and later)

utf8 => 1
(default: disabled)

The value is a boolean which enables (true) or disables (false) the conversion of Perl character strings to octet sequences in UTF-8 encoding on store, and the reverse conversion on fetch (when the retrieved data is marked as being UTF-8 octet sequence). See perlunicode.

max_size

max_size => 512 * 1024
(default: 1024 * 1024)

The value is a maximum size of an item to be stored in memcached. When trying to set a key to a value longer than max_size bytes (after serialization and compression) nothing is sent to the server, and set methods return undef.

Note that the real maximum on the server is less than 1MB, and depends on key length among other things. So some values in the range [1MB - N bytes, 1MB], where N is several hundreds, will still be sent to the server, and rejected there. You may set max_size to a smaller value to avoid this.

check_args

check_args => 'skip'
(default: not 'skip')

The value is a string. Currently the only recognized string is 'skip'.

By default all constructor parameter names are checked to be recognized, and a warning is given for unknown parameter. This will catch spelling errors that otherwise might go unnoticed.

When set to 'skip', the check will be bypassed. This may be desired when you share the same argument hash among different client versions, or among different clients.

METHODS

enable_compress

$memd->enable_compress($enable);

Enable compression when boolean $enable is true, disable when false.

Note that you can enable compression only when you set "compress_threshold" to some positive value and "compress_methods" is set.

Return: none.

namespace

$memd->namespace;
$memd->namespace($string);

Without the argument return the current namespace prefix. With the argument set the namespace prefix to $string, and return the old prefix.

Return: scalar, the namespace prefix that was in effect before the call.

set

$memd->set($key, $value);
$memd->set($key, $value, $expiration_time);

Store the $value on the server under the $key. $key should be a scalar. $value should be defined and may be of any Perl data type. When it is a reference, the referenced Perl data structure will be transparently serialized by routines specified with "serialize_methods", which see.

Optional $expiration_time is a positive integer number of seconds after which the value will expire and wouldn't be accessible any longer.

Return: boolean, true for positive server reply, false for negative server reply, or undef in case of some error.

set_multi

$memd->set_multi(
    [$key, $value],
    [$key, $value, $expiration_time],
    ...
);

Like "set", but operates on more than one key. Takes the list of references to arrays each holding $key, $value and optional $expiration_time.

Note that multi commands are not all-or-nothing, some operations may succeed, while others may fail.

Return: in list context returns the list of results, each $list[$index] is the result value corresponding to the argument at position $index. In scalar context, hash reference is returned, where $href->{$key} hols the result value. See "set" to learn what the result value is.

cas

$memd->cas($key, $cas, $value);
$memd->cas($key, $cas, $value, $expiration_time);

Store the $value on the server under the $key, but only if CAS (Consistent Access Storage) value associated with this key is equal to $cas. $cas is an opaque object returned with "gets" or "gets_multi".

See "set" for $key, $value, $expiration_time parameters description.

Return: boolean, true for positive server reply, false for negative server reply, or undef in case of some error. Thus if the key exists on the server, false would mean that some other client has updated the value, and "gets", "cas" command sequence should be repeated.

cas command first appeared in memcached 1.2.4.

cas_multi

$memd->cas_multi(
    [$key, $cas, $value],
    [$key, $cas, $value, $expiration_time],
    ...
);

Like "cas", but operates on more than one key. Takes the list of references to arrays each holding $key, $cas, $value and optional $expiration_time.

Note that multi commands are not all-or-nothing, some operations may succeed, while others may fail.

cas command first appeared in memcached 1.2.4.

add

$memd->add($key, $value);
$memd->add($key, $value, $expiration_time);

Store the $value on the server under the $key, but only if the key doesn't exists on the server.

See "set" for $key, $value, $expiration_time parameters description.

Return: boolean, true for positive server reply, false for negative server reply, or undef in case of some error.

add_multi

$memd->add_multi(
    [$key, $value],
    [$key, $value, $expiration_time],
    ...
);

replace

$memd->replace($key, $value);
$memd->replace($key, $value, $expiration_time);

Store the $value on the server under the $key, but only if the key does exists on the server.

See "set" for $key, $value, $expiration_time parameters description.

Return: boolean, true for positive server reply, false for negative server reply, or undef in case of some error.

replace_multi

$memd->replace_multi(
    [$key, $value],
    [$key, $value, $expiration_time],
    ...
);

Like "replace", but operates on more than one key. Takes the list of references to arrays each holding $key, $value and optional $expiration_time.

Note that multi commands are not all-or-nothing, some operations may succeed, while others may fail.

append

$memd->append($key, $value);

Append the $value to the current value on the server under the $key.

$key and $value should be scalars, as well as current value on the server. append doesn't affect expiration time of the value.

Return: boolean, true for positive server reply, false for negative server reply, or undef in case of some error.

append command first appeared in memcached 1.2.4.

append_multi

$memd->append_multi(
    [$key, $value],
    ...
);

Like "append", but operates on more than one key. Takes the list of references to arrays each holding $key, $value.

Note that multi commands are not all-or-nothing, some operations may succeed, while others may fail.

append command first appeared in memcached 1.2.4.

prepend

$memd->prepend($key, $value);

Prepend the $value to the current value on the server under the $key.

$key and $value should be scalars, as well as current value on the server. prepend doesn't affect expiration time of the value.

Return: boolean, true for positive server reply, false for negative server reply, or undef in case of some error.

prepend command first appeared in memcached 1.2.4.

prepend_multi

$memd->prepend_multi(

Retrieve the value for a $key. $key should be a scalar.

Return: value associated with the $key, or nothing.

Retrieve several values associated with @keys. @keys should be an array of scalars.

Return: reference to hash, where $href->{$key} holds corresponding value.

gets

$memd->gets($key);

Retrieve the value and its CAS for a $key. $key should be a scalar.

Return: reference to an array [$cas, $value], or nothing. You may conveniently pass it back to "cas" with @$res:

my $cas_val = $memd->gets($key);
# Update value.
if (defined $cas_val) {
    $$cas_val[1] = 3;
    $memd->cas($key, @$cas_val);
}

gets command first appeared in memcached 1.2.4.

gets_multi

$memd->gets_multi(@keys);

Retrieve several values and their CASs associated with @keys. @keys should be an array of scalars.

Return: reference to hash, where $href->{$key} holds a reference to an array [$cas, $value]. Compare with "gets".

gets command first appeared in memcached 1.2.4.

incr

$memd->incr($key);
$memd->incr($key, $increment);

Increment the value for the $key. Starting with memcached 1.3.3 $key should be set to a number or the command will fail. An optional $increment should be a positive integer, when not given 1 is assumed. Note that the server doesn't check for overflow.

Return: unsigned integer, new value for the $key, or false for negative server reply, or undef in case of some error.

incr_multi

$memd->incr_multi(
    @keys,
    [$key],
    [$key, $increment],
    ...
);

Like "incr", but operates on more than one key. Takes the list of keys and references to arrays each holding $key and optional $increment.

Note that multi commands are not all-or-nothing, some operations may succeed, while others may fail.

decr

$memd->decr($key);
$memd->decr($key, $decrement);

Decrement the value for the $key. Starting with memcached 1.3.3 $key should be set to a number or the command will fail. An optional $decrement should be a positive integer, when not given 1 is assumed. Note that the server does check for underflow, attempt to decrement the value below zero would set the value to zero. Similar to DBI, zero is returned as "0E0", and evaluates to true in a boolean context.

Return: unsigned integer, new value for the $key, or false for negative server reply, or undef in case of some error.

decr_multi

$memd->decr_multi(
    @keys,
    [$key],
    [$key, $decrement],
    ...
);

Like "decr", but operates on more than one key. Takes the list of keys and references to arrays each holding $key and optional $decrement.

Note that multi commands are not all-or-nothing, some operations may succeed, while others may fail.

delete

$memd->delete($key);

Delete $key and its value from the cache.

Return: boolean, true for positive server reply, false for negative server reply, or undef in case of some error.

remove (deprecated)

Alias for "delete", for compatibility with Cache::Memcached.

delete_multi

$memd->delete_multi(@keys);

Like "delete", but operates on more than one key. Takes the list of keys.

Note that multi commands are not all-or-nothing, some operations may succeed, while others may fail.

flush_all

$memd->flush_all;
$memd->flush_all($delay);

Flush all caches the client knows about. This command invalidates all items in the caches, none of them will be returned on subsequent retrieval command. $delay is an optional non-negative integer number of seconds to delay the operation. The delay will be distributed across the servers. For instance, when you have three servers, and call flush_all(30), the servers would get 30, 15, 0 seconds delays respectively. When omitted, zero is assumed, i.e. flush immediately.

Return: reference to hash, where $href->{$server} holds corresponding result value. $server is either host:port or /path/to/unix.sock, as described in "servers". Result value is a boolean, true for positive server reply, false for negative server reply, or undef in case of some error.

nowait_push

$memd->nowait_push;

Push all pending requests to the server(s), and wait for all replies. When "nowait" mode is enabled, the requests issued in a void context may not reach the server(s) immediately (because the reply is not waited for). Instead they may stay in the send queue on the local host, or in the receive queue on the remote host(s), for quite a long time. This method ensures that they are delivered to the server(s), processed there, and the replies have arrived (or some error has happened that caused some connection(s) to be closed).

Destructor will call this method to ensure that all requests are processed before the connection is closed.

Return: nothing.

server_versions

$memd->server_versions;

Get server versions.

Return: reference to hash, where $href->{$server} holds corresponding server version. $server is either host:port or /path/to/unix.sock, as described in "servers".

disconnect_all

$memd->disconnect_all;

Closes all open sockets to memcached servers. Must be called after "fork" in perlfunc if the parent process has open sockets to memcacheds (as the child process inherits the socket and thus two processes end up using the same socket which leads to protocol errors.)

Return: nothing.

Compatibility with Cache::Memcached

This module is designed to be a drop in replacement for Cache::Memcached. Where constructor parameters are the same as in Cache::Memcached, the default values are also the same, and new parameters are disabled by default (the exception is "close_on_error", which is absent in Cache::Memcached and enabled by default in this module, and "check_args", which see). Internally Cache::Memcached::Fast uses the same hash function as Cache::Memcached, and thus should distribute the keys across several servers the same way. So both modules may be used interchangeably. Most users of the original module should be able to use this module after replacing "Cache::Memcached" with "Cache::Memcached::Fast", without further code modifications. However, as of this release, the following features of Cache::Memcached are not supported by Cache::Memcached::Fast (and some of them will never be):

Constructor parameters

no_rehash

Current implementation never rehashes keys, instead "max_failures" and "failure_timeout" are used.

If the client would rehash the keys, a consistency problem would arise: when the failure occurs the client can't tell whether the server is down, or there's a (transient) network failure. While some clients might fail to reach a particular server, others may still reach it, so some clients will start rehashing, while others will not, and they will no longer agree which key goes where.

readonly

Not supported. Easy to add. However I'm not sure about the demand for it, and it will slow down things a bit (because from design point of view it's better to add it on Perl side rather than on XS side).

debug

Not supported. Since the implementation is different, there can't be any compatibility on debug level.

Methods

Passing keys: Every key should be a scalar. The syntax when key is a reference to an array [$precomputed_hash, $key] is not supported.
set_servers: Not supported. Server set should not change after client object construction.
set_debug: Not supported. See "debug".
set_readonly: Not supported. See "readonly".
set_norehash: Not supported. See "no_rehash".
set_compress_threshold: Not supported. Easy to add. Currently you specify compress_threshold during client object construction.
stats: Not supported. Perhaps will appear in the future releases.

Tainted data

In current implementation tainted flag is neither tested nor preserved, storing tainted data and retrieving it back would clear tainted flag. See perlsec.

Threads

This module is thread-safe when used with Perl >= 5.7.2. As with other Perl data each thread gets its own copy of Cache::Memcached::Fast object that is in scope when the thread is created. Such copies share no state, and may be used concurrently. For example:

use threads;

my $memd = new Cache::Memcached::Fast({...});

sub thread_job {
  $memd->set("key", "thread value");
}

threads->new(\&thread_job);
$memd->set("key", "main value");

Here both sets will be executed concurrently, and the value of key will be either main value or thread value, depending on the timing of operations. Note that $memd inside thread_job internally refers to a different Cache::Memcached::Fast object than $memd from the outer scope. Each object has its own connections to servers, its own counter of outstanding replies for "nowait" mode, etc.

New object copy is created with the same constructor arguments, but initially is not connected to any server (even when master copy has open connections). No file descriptor is allocated until the command is executed through this new object.

You may safely create Cache::Memcached::Fast object from threads other than main thread, and/or pass them as parameters to threads::new(). However you can't return the object from top-level thread function. I.e., the following won't work:

use threads;

sub thread_job {
  return new Cache::Memcached::Fast({...});
}

my $thread = threads->new(\&thread_job);

my $memd = $thread->join;  # The object will be destroyed here.

This is a Perl limitation (see "BUGS AND LIMITATIONS" in threads).
