As mentioned on this page: Memcached for PHP and failover,
I am trying to test the failover of Memcached.
Basically, I want to ensure that if one of the server is marked dead, subsequent sets and gets should get re-distributed to the servers that are left over.
Someone mentioned on this page that OPT_AUTO_EJECT_HOSTS is one option to achieve this.
However, It seems that Memcached::OPT_AUTO_EJECT_HOSTS is depreciated as decribed on this page:http://hoborglabs.com/en/blog/2013/memcached-php
I tried using OPT_REMOVE_FAILED_SERVERS option also. But this makes no difference.
I also tried OPT_SERVER_FAILURE_LIMIT, setting it to 1.
Benchmark/request generator in my case, is BRUTIS.
https://code.google.com/p/brutis/
I'm using libmemcached-1.0.16, memcached-1.4.15, and the php version of memcached is 2.1.0.
What should I do to make the failover and automatic rebalancing to work.
I am trying different combinations of these options also. But, it does not work.
There is a related question: Brutis and memcached FailOver
But no answer yet :(
If anyone has any idea about this, please share your views.
Thanks in advance, Amit
