getting rid of the 1M value limit

[bsergean]

Hi,

http://www.socialtext.net/memcached/index.cgi?faq#what_are_some_limits_in_memcached_i_might_hit
"""
Stored data cannot exceed 1 megabyte in size, since that is the
largest typical slab size.
"""

I'd like to cache datas that are bigger than 1M in size.
I tried to look at the slabs.c code but couldn't figure how to do
that. The FAQ talks about USE_SYSTEM_MALLOC but I'm not sure it's
related.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
- Benjamin

Hi,

If you MUST, go into slabs.c and grep for the constant, 'POWER_BLOCK'.

Cheers,

#define POWER_BLOCK 1048576

I will play with it. Thanks a lot Toru.

In addition you _must_ also verify that your client can handle such
values ;)

I'm planning to use cmemcache which calls libmemcache. Do you think there's gonna be problems ? (I'm gonna check today anyway).

ps:
Now I will start thinking about doing things right and not caching my big blobs ...
