    }

-- on hot code paths:

local ctx = ngx.ctx

-- in case of failure, can return the stale data with an error message
local data, err = memc_fetch(ctx, key)

-- using the default ttl specified by "store_ttl"
local ok = memc_store(ctx, key, value)

ok = memc_store(ctx, key, value, ttl)  -- overriding the default ttl

Description

This library provides a powerful memcached client that deliver the following important features:

  1. Automatically using shm-based caching layer with OpenResty's lua_shared_dict. This local shm cache layer can also be turned off by setting the disable_shdict to true.
  2. Automatically using server-level (not worker-level) cache locks (based on lua-resty-lock) to avoid duplicate and concurrent queries to the memcached server for the same key when it is a cache miss in the local shm cache.
  3. Automatically handles and logs any errors while accessing the Memcached server or lua_shared_dict.
  4. Automatically uses connection pools for all the Memcached queries.
  5. Automatically returns stale (or expired) data item in the local shm cache when a cache miss happens and some other light threads are already querying Memcached and updating the cache for the same key.
  6. Automatically retry querying Memcached when failures happen (like intermittent network issues).

This library is mostly used for cases that use Memcached or Memcached-compatible servers as the data storage (like Kyoto Tycoon).

Atop this library, the user can further add another per-worker caching layer by employing the lua-resty-lrucache library herself, and/or add asynchronous cache updating mechanism via ngx.timer.at.

Caveats

  • Unlike the lua-resty-memcached library, this client does not escape special characters in the key by default. So it is the caller's responsibility to avoid using special characters in the keys.
