NAME

Cache::Elasticache::Memcache - A wrapper for Cache::Memacached::Fast with support for AWS's auto reconfiguration mechanism

SYNOPSIS

use Cache::Elasticache::Memcache;

my $memd = new Cache::Elasticache::Memcache->new({
    config_endpoint => 'foo.bar',
    update_period => 180,
    # All other options are passed on to Cache::Memcached::Fast
    ...
});

# Will update the server list from the configuration endpoint
$memd->updateServers();

# Will update the serverlist from the configuration endpoint if the time since
# the last time the server list was checked is greater than the update period
# specified when the $memd object was created.
$memd->checkServers();

# Class method to retrieve a server list from a configuration endpoint.
Cache::Elasticache::Memcache->getServersFromEndpoint('foo.bar');

# All other supported methods are handled by Cache::Memcached::Fast

# N.B. This library is currently under development

DESCRIPTION

A wrapper for Cache::Memacached::Fast with support for AWS's auto reconfiguration mechanism. It makes use of an AWS elasticache memcached cluster's configuration endpoint to discover the memcache servers in the cluster and periodically check the current server list to adapt to a changing cluster.

UNDER DEVELOPMENT DISCALIMER

N.B. This module is still under development. It should work, but things may change under the hood. I plan to imporove the resiliance with better timeout handling of communication when updating the server list. I'm toying with the idea of making the server list lookup asyncronus, however that may add a level of complexity not worth the benefits. Also I'm investigating switching to Dist::Milla. I'm open to suggestions, ideas and pull requests.

CONSTRUCTOR

Cache::Elasticache::Memcache->new({
    config_endpoint => 'foo.bar',
    update_period => 180,
    ...
})

Constructor parameters

config_endpoint

AWS elasticache memcached cluster config endpoint location

update_period

The minimum period (in seconds) to wait between updating the server list. Defaults to 180 seconds

METHODS

Supported Cache::Memcached::Fast methods

These methods can be called on a Cache::Elasticache::Memcache object. The object will call checkServers, then the call will be passed on to the appropriate Cache::Memcached::Fast code. Please see the Cache::Memcached::Fast documentation for further details regarding these methods.

checkServers

my $memd = Cache::Elasticache::Memcache->new({
    config_endpoint => 'foo.bar'
})

...

$memd->checkServers();

Trigger the the server list to be updated if the time passed since the server list was last updated is greater than the update period (default 180 seconds).

updateServers

my $memd = Cache::Elasticache::Memcache->new({
    config_endpoint => 'foo.bar'
})

...

$memd->updateServers();

This method will update the server list regardles of how much time has passed since the server list was last checked.

CLASS METHODS

getServersFromEndpoint

Cache::Elasticache::Memcache->getServersFromEndpoint('foo.bar');

This class method will retrieve the server list for a given configuration endpoint.
