Memcached-engines is a project mainly written in C and C++, based on the View license.

Small stupid implementation of a memcached engine implemented in C++ using STL

Hi!

You have just downloaded the source for various example engines I've created for demo purposes of the storage engine API in memcached.

C++

I know that a lot of people dislike C, and would prefer to use C++ to create their engine. To show you how to write an engine in C++, I decided to create a small engine using STL containers to store the objects in. You'll find this implementation in src/stl

Persistent

People always talk about a persistent cache, so I thought I could write up a small example where I just tweaked the default engine from the memcached source distribution to store it's data in a database (sqlite). That means that items.[ch] assoc.[ch] slabs.[ch] is copied from the source distribution, and persistent_engine.[ch] is almost identical to default_engine.[ch].

Compress

An engine that compress the items it stores. This is based on default engine with only a small modification. Please note that append/prepend and incr/decr will most likely not work ;-)

Hope you will find the examples interesting.

Cheers,

Trond Norbye
