Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.
-
memcache.allow_failover
bool -
Whether to transparently failover to other servers on errors.
-
memcache.max_failover_attempts
int -
Defines how many servers to try when setting and getting data. Used only in conjunction with memcache.allow_failover.
-
memcache.chunk_size
int -
Data will be transferred in chunks of this size, setting the value lower requires more network writes. Try increasing this value to 32768 if noticing otherwise inexplicable slowdowns.
-
memcache.default_port
string -
The default TCP port number to use when connecting to the memcached server if no other port is specified.
-
memcache.hash_strategy
string -
Controls which strategy to use when mapping keys to servers. Set this value to
consistent
to enable consistent hashing which allows servers to be added or removed from the pool without causing keys to be remapped. Setting this value tostandard
results in the old strategy being used. -
memcache.hash_function
string -
Controls which hash function to apply when mapping keys to servers,
crc32
uses the standard CRC32 hash whilefnv
uses FNV-1a. -
memcache.protocol
string -
-
memcache.redundancy
int -
-
memcache.session_redundancy
int -
-
memcache.compress_threshold
int -
-
memcache.lock_timeout
int -
-
session.save_handler
string -
Use memcache as a session handler by setting this value to
memcache
. -
session.save_path
string -
Defines a comma separated of server urls to use for session storage, for example
"tcp://host1:11211, tcp://host2:11211"
.Each url may contain parameters which are applied to that server, they are the same as for the Memcache::addServer() method. For example
"tcp://host1:11211?persistent=1&weight=1&timeout=1&retry_interval=15"
