=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is the Cache::Memcached compatible interface to libmemcached,
a C library to interface with memcached.
Cache::Memcached::libmemcached is built on top of Memcached::libmemcached.
While Memcached::libmemcached aims to port libmemcached API to perl,
Cache::Memcached::libmemcached attempts to be API compatible with
Cache::Memcached, so it can be used as a drop-in replacement.
Cache::Memcached::libmemcached I<inherits> from Memcached::libmemcached.
While you are free to use the Memcached::libmemcached specific methods directly
on the object, doing so will mean that your code is no longer compatible with
the original Cache::Memcached API therefore losing some of the portability in
case you want to replace it with some other package.
=head1 Cache::Memcached COMPATIBLE METHODS
Except for the minor incompatibilities, below methods are compatible with
Cache::Memcached.
=head2 new
Takes one parameter, a hashref of options.
=head3 Cache::Memcached options:
=head3 servers
The value is passed to the L</set_servers> method.
=head3 compress_threshold
Set a compression threshold, in bytes. Values larger than this threshold will
be compressed by set and decompressed by get.
=head3 namespace
The value is passed to the L</namespace> method.
=head3 debug
Sets the C<trace_level> for the Memcached::libmemcached object.
=head3 readonly, no_rehash
These Cache::Memcached options are not supported.
=head3 Options specific to Cache::Memcached::libmemcached:
=head3 compress_savings
=head3 behavior_*
Any of the I<many> behaviors documented in
L<Memcached::libmemcached::memcached_behavior> can be specified by using
argument key names that start with C<behavior_>. For example:
behavior_ketama_weighted => 1,
behavior_noreply => 1,
behavior_number_of_replicas => 2,
behavior_server_failure_limit => 3,
behavior_auto_eject_hosts => 1,
=head3 no_block
=head3 hashing_algorithm
=head3 distribution_method
=head3 binary_protocol
These are equivalent to the same options prefixed with C<behavior_>.
=head2 set_servers
$memd->set_servers( [ 'serv1:port1', 'serv2:port2', ... ]);
Calls L</server_add> for each element of the supplied arrayref.
See L</server_add> for details of valid values, including how to specify weights.
=head2 namespace
$memd->namespace;
$memd->namespace($string);
Without the argument return the current namespace prefix. With the
argument set the namespace prefix to I<$string>, and return the old prefix.
The effect is to pefix all keys with the provided namespace value. That is, if
you set namespace to "app1:" and later do a set of "foo" to "bar", memcached is
actually seeing you set "app1:foo" to "bar".
The namespace string must be less than 128 bytes (MEMCACHED_PREFIX_KEY_MAX_SIZE).
=head2 get
my $val = $memd->get($key);
Retrieves a key from the memcached. Returns the value (automatically thawed
with Storable, if necessary) or undef.
Currently the arrayref form of $key is NOT supported. Perhaps in the future.
=head2 get_multi
my $hashref = $memd->get_multi(@keys);
Retrieves multiple keys from the memcache doing just one query.
Returns a hashref of key/value pairs that were available.
=head2 set
$memd->set($key, $value[, $expires]);
Unconditionally sets a key to a given value in the memcache. Returns true if
it was stored successfully.
Currently the arrayref form of $key is NOT supported. Perhaps in the future.
=head2 add
$memd->add($key, $value[, $expires]);
Like set(), but only stores in memcache if they key doesn't already exist.
=head2 replace
$memd->replace($key, $value[, $expires]);
Like set(), but only stores in memcache if they key already exist.
=head2 append
$memd->append($key, $value);
Appends $value to whatever value associated with $key. Only available for
memcached > 1.2.4
=head2 prepend
$memd->prepend($key, $value);
Prepends $value to whatever value associated with $key. Only available for
memcached > 1.2.4
=head2 incr
=head2 decr
my $newval = $memd->incr($key);
my $newval = $memd->decr($key);
my $newval = $memd->incr($key, $offset);
my $newval = $memd->decr($key, $offset);
Atomically increments or decrements the specified the integer value specified
by $key. Returns undef if the key doesn't exist on the server.
=head2 delete
=head2 remove
$memd->delete($key);
$memd->delete($key, $time);
Deletes a key.
If $time is non-zero then the item is marked for later expiration. Expiration
works by placing the item into a delete queue, which means that it won't
possible to retrieve it by the "get" command, but "add" and "replace" command
with this key will also fail (the "set" command will succeed, however). After
the time passes, the item is finally deleted from server memory.
=head2 flush_all
$memd->fush_all;
Runs the memcached "flush_all" command on all configured hosts, emptying all
their caches.
=head2 set_compress_threshold
$memd->set_compress_threshold($threshold);
Set the compress threshold.
=head2 enable_compress
$memd->enable_compress($bool);
This is actually an alias to set_compress_enable(). The original version
from Cache::Memcached is, despite its naming, a setter as well.
=head2 stats
my $h = $memd->stats();
my $h = $memd->stats($keys);
Returns a hashref of statistical data regarding the memcache server(s), the
$memd object, or both. $keys can be an arrayref of keys wanted, a single key
wanted, or absent (in which case the default value is C<[ '' ]>). For each
key the C<stats> command is run on each server.
For example C<<$memd->stats([ '', 'sizes' ])>> would return a structure like
this:
{
hosts => {
'N.N.N.N:P' => {
misc => {
...
},
sizes => {
...
},
},
...,
},
totals => {
...
}
}
The general stats (where the key is "") are returned with a key of C<misc>.
The C<totals> element contains the aggregate totals for all hosts of some of
the statistics.
=head2 disconnect_all
Disconnects from servers
=head2 cas
$memd->cas($key, $cas, $value[, $exptime]);
Overwrites data in the server as long as the "cas" value is still the same in
the server.
You can get the cas value of a result by calling memcached_result_cas() on a
memcached_result_st(3) structure.
Support for "cas" is disabled by default as there is a slight performance
penalty. To enable it use the C<support_cas> option to L</new>.
=head1 Cache::Memcached::Fast COMPATIBLE METHODS
=head2 server_versions
$href = $memd->server_versions;
Returns a reference to hash, where $href->{$server} holds corresponding server
version string, e.g. "1.4.4". $server is either host:port or /path/to/unix.sock.
=head1 Cache::Memcached::libmemcached SPECIFIC METHODS
These methods are libmemcached-specific.
=head2 server_add
$self->server_add( $server_host_port ); # 10.10.10.10:11211
$self->server_add( $server_socket_path ); # /path/to/socket
$self->server_add( [ $server, $weight ] );
$self->server_add( { address => $server, weight => $weight } );
Adds a memcached server address with an optional weight (default 0).
=head1 UTILITY METHODS
WARNING: Please do not consider the existence for these methods to be final.
They may be renamed or may entirely disappear from future releases.
=head2 get_compress_threshold
Return the current value of compress_threshold
=head2 set_compress_enable
Set the value of compress_enable
=head2 get_compress_enable
Return the current value of compress_enable
=head2 set_compress_savings
Set the value of compress_savings
=head2 get_compress_savings
Return the current value of compress_savings
=head1 BEHAVIOR CUSTOMIZATION
Memcached::libmemcached supports I<many> 'behaviors' that can be used to
configure the behavior of the library and its interaction with the servers.
Certain libmemcached behaviors can be configured with the following methods.
(NOTE: This API is not fixed yet)
=head2 set_no_block
$memd->set_no_block( 1 );
Set to use blocking/non-blocking I/O. When this is in effect, get() becomes
flaky, so don't attempt to call it. This has the most effect for set()
operations, because libmemcached stops waiting for server response after
writing to the socket (set() will also always return success).
Please consult the man page for C<memcached_behavior_set()> for details
before setting.
=head2 is_no_block
Get the current value of no_block behavior.
=head2 set_distribution_method
$memd->set_distribution_method( MEMCACHED_DISTRIBUTION_CONSISTENT );
Set the distribution behavior.
=head2 get_distribution_method
Get the distribution behavior.
=head2 set_hashing_algorithm
$memd->set_hashing_algorithm( MEMCACHED_HASH_KETAMA );
Set the hashing algorithm used.
=head2 get_hashing_algorithm
Get the hashing algorithm used.
=head2 set_binary_protocol
=head2 is_binary_protocol
$memd->set_binary_protocol( 1 );
$binary = $memd->is_binary_protocol();
Use C<set_binary_protocol> to enable/disable binary protocol.
Use C<is_binary_protocol> to determine the current setting.
=head1 OPTIMIZE FLAG
If you are 100% sure that you won't be using the master key support (where
you provide an arrayref as the key) you can get about 4~5% performance boost
by setting the environment variable named PERL_LIBMEMCACHED_OPTIMIZE to a true
value I<before> loading the module.
This is an EXPERIMENTAL optimization and will possibly be replaced by
implementing the methods in C in Memcached::libmemcached.
=head1 VARIOUS MEMCACHED MODULES
Below are the various memcached modules available on CPAN.
Please check tool/benchmark.pl for a live comparison of these modules.
(except for Cache::Memcached::XS, which I wasn't able to compile under my
main dev environment)
=head2 Cache::Memcached
This is the "original" module. It's mostly written in Perl, is slow, and lacks
significant features like support for the binary protocol.
=head2 Cache::Memcached::libmemcached
Cache::Memcached::libmemcached, this module,
is a perl binding for libmemcached (http://tangent.org/552/libmemcached.html).
Not to be confused with libmemcache (see below).
=head2 Cache::Memcached::Fast
Cache::Memcached::Fast is a memcached client written in XS from scratch.
As of this writing benchmarks shows that Cache::Memcached::Fast is faster on
get_multi(), and Cache::Memcached::libmemcached is faster on regular get()/set().
Cache::Memcached::Fast doesn't support the binary protocol.
=head2 Memcached::libmemcached
Memcached::libmemcached is a thin binding to the libmemcached C library
and provides access to most of the libmemcached API.
If you don't care about a drop-in replacement for Cache::Memcached, and want to
benefit from the feature-rich efficient API that libmemcached offers, this is
the way to go.
Since the Memcached::libmemcached module is also the parent class of this module
you can call Memcached::libmemcached methods directly.
=head2 Cache::Memcached::XS
Cache::Memcached::XS is a binding for libmemcache (http://people.freebsd.org/~seanc/libmemcache/).
The main memcached site at http://danga.com/memcached/apis.bml seems to
indicate that the underlying libmemcache is no longer in active development.
The module hasn't been updated since 2006.
=head1 TODO
Check and improve compatibility with Cache::Memcached::Fast.
Add forget_dead_hosts() for greater Cache::Memcached compatibility?
Treat PERL_LIBMEMCACHED_OPTIMIZE as the default and add a subclass that
handles the arrayref master key concept. Then
the custom methods (get set add replace prepend append cas
delete) can then all be removed and the libmemcached ones used directly.
Alternatively, add master key via array ref support to the methods in
::libmemcached. Either way the effect on performance should be significant.
Redo tools/benchmarks.pl performance tests (ensuring that methods are not called in
void context unless it's appropriate).
Try using Cache::Memcached::Fast's test suite to test this module.
Via private lib/Cache/Memcached/libmemcachedAsFast.pm wrapper.
Implement automatic no-reply on calls in void context (like Cache::Memcached::Fast).
That should yield a signigicant performance boost.
