Memcached LRU and expiry?

No, it is not exempt. Memcached is a cache, not persistent storage. Any item within it, or the entire cache itself may disappear at any moment (but it's not likely unless it's full, or there's a major problem) Under heavy memory pressure, the LRU algorithm will remove whatever it feels necessary What is memcached's cache?

The cache structure is an LRU (Least Recently Used), plus expiration timeouts. When you store items into memcached, you may state how long it should be valid in the cache. Which is forever, or some time in the future.

If the server is out of memory, expired slabs are replaced first, then the oldest unused slabs go next If the system has no areas of expired data, it will throw away the least recently used block (slab) of memory.

Just to note, I realize memcached is not persistent, but there are other caching solutions out there that will exempt entries from LRU or LFU eviction. – Mark Feb 11 at 15:11.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
