#32749 PyMemcacheCache uses default_noreply=False although pymemcache recommends to set to True

[Nishant Sagar]

I've gone through the documentation of pymencache and if I'm not wrong its nowhere written that it recommends  default_noreply to be set to True

pymemcache documentation says noreply will not read errors returned from the memcached server.

If a function with noreply=True causes an error on the server, it will still succeed and your next call which reads a response from memcached may fail unexpectedly.

pymemcached will try to catch and stop you from sending malformed inputs to memcached, but if you are having unexplained errors, setting noreply=False may help you troubleshoot the issue.

You can also look at ticket  #29887   -- Added a cache backend for pymemcache.

It says that default_noreply has been set to false to make the behaviour consistent with the other backends and to allow the test suite to pass successfully. Currently django-pymemcache only sets the soft-deprecated serializer and deserializer options which have been superseded by serde.

Note that pymemcache.serde.pickle_serde uses pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL by default which is consistent with the configuration of the python-memcached backend.

As a beginner to this project what do I supposed to do now, how can I fix this issue?

Thank you

It's covered in the "best practices" section, which is a list of their recommendations: https://pymemcache.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html?highlight=noreply#best-practices

The conversation on the ticket has input from several people. We need to decide what to do as a group. I've given my opinion.
