# Erlang memcached client library.

This library provides two ways of working with memcached servers. One way is to

use a single server, as described in *#1*. Another way is to use a number of

memcached servers in a consistent hash ring mode. This is described in *#2*.

## 1. RUNNING IN SINGLE-SERVER MODE

### 1.1  Starting a single memcached

The following will start an anonymous mcd client, addressable by the returned pid().

    {ok, Pid} = mcd:start_link(["localhost", 11211]).

The next one will connect to the memcached server on the local host, and will

also register the mcd instance under the 'myMcd' name. See *#3*.  The mcd API

can use the returned pid() and the registered name interchangeably.

    mcd:start_link(myMcd, []).

    mcd:set(myMcd, a, b).

    mcd:get(myMcd, a).

### 1.2  A ChildSpec for running the mcd named 'myMcd' under a supervisor

    {local_memcache,

        {mcd, start_link, ['myMcd', ["localhost", 11211]]},

        permanent, 10000, worker, [mcd] }

## 2. RUNNING IN CLUSTERED MODE

*mcd_cluster* starts a set of mcd processess and a dispatcher attached to them.

All mcd processess and the dispatcher are linked to form a proper exit hierarchy.

### 2.1  Starting memcached cluster from the command line (e.g., for testing)

    mcd_cluster:start_link(mainCluster, [

        {host1, ["localhost", 11211], 10},

        {host2, ["localhost", 11211], 20}

    ]).

### 2.2  A ChildSpec for running the cluster named 'mainCluster' under a supervisor

    {mainCluster,

        {mcd_cluster, start_link, [mainCluster, [

            {host1, ["localhost"], 10},

            {host2, ["localhost"], 20}

        ]]},

        permanent, 60000, worker, [mcd_cluster]}

Note: the default port for "localhost" is 11211.

### 2.3 Starting memcached cluster as an application

    application:set_env(mcd, mcd_hosts, [{localhost, ["localhost"]}]).

    application:set_env(mcd, mcd_buckets, [

        {cluster1, {localhost, 11211}},

        {cluster2, {localhost, 11211}}

    ]).

    application:start(mcd).

    {error, notfound} = mcd:get(cluster1, foo).

    {error, notfound} = mcd:get(cluster2, foo).

## 3. USING MEMCACHED

    {ok, b} = mcd:set(server, a, b).

    {error, notfound} = mcd:get(server, foo).

    {ok, [42]} = mcd:set(mainCluster, <<"bar">>, [42]).

    {ok, [42]} = mcd:get(mainCluster, <<"bar">>).
