Several caches in memcached

I transfer caches from EhCache to Memcached . Is there only one Memcached instance, is there a way to have multiple caches (like in EhCache)?

For example, I want to have a "Users" cache, a "Products" cache, etc. The main reason is that it can control and configure each cache separately and be able to clear them separately too.

Typically, this kind of behavior is achieved in memcached through a namespace. Within one memcached instance, multiple namespaces are supported, each of which represents a different cache. However, memcached does not support namespace names; instead, memcached namespaces are emulated using prefix keys with a namespace identifier (for example, memcachedClient.get('products.top10')). Some memcached clients, such as the Python GAE memcached client , render this behavior for you. However, as far as I can tell, xmemcached does not.

There are two options left.

  • Manually add each key you are working with.
  • XMemcachedClient : String namespace, , get0(), . , XMemcached.
