This is a toolkit for building memcached servers in erlang using the memcached binary protocol.
The basic idea is that there will be one server that understands commands and can issue responses. A sample implementation is provided that uses an in-memory hash table. You can try it out like this:
1> {ok, S} = mc_handler_hashtable:start_link().
{ok,<0.34.0>}
2> mc_tcp_listener:start_link(11213, S).
{ok,<0.36.0>}
Then connect to port 11213 with your favorite memcached binary protocol client.
So you want to write your own backend? No problem. Take a look at
mc_handler_hashtable for an example backend implementing
gen_server that handles a few commands.
Not all of the commands are defined yet, so there aren't hugely comprehensive examples, but hopefully there's enough there to get the idea.
MIT or something... I made this for you!
