Spymemcached can be compiled using Apache Ant by running the following command:
ant
This will generate binary, source, and javadoc jars in the build directory of the project.
To run the Spymemcached tests against Membase Server run the following command:
ant test -Dserver.type=membase
To test Spymemcached against Membase running on a different host use the following command:
ant test -Dserver.type=membase \
-Dserver.address_v4=ip_address_of_membase
The latest version of spymemcached has a set of command line arguments that can be used to configure the location of your testing server. The arguments are listed below.
-Dserver.address_v4=ipv4_address_of_testing_server
This argument is used to specify the ipv4 address of your testing server. By default it is set to localhost.
-Dserver.address_v6=ipv6_address_of_testing_server
This argument is used to set the ipv6 address of your testing server. By default it is set to ::1. If an ipv6 address is specified then an ipv4 address must be specified otherwise there may be test failures.
-Dserver.port_number=port_number_of_memcached
This argument is used when memcahched is started on a port other than 11211
-Dtest.type=ci
This argument is used for CI testing where certain unit tests might be temporarily failing.
There is now a configuration option to add a Failsafe circuit breaker in front of each node. If enabled, the circuit breaker is updated at the end of each operation (failure if it timed out, success otherwise). If 5 out of the last 10 operations have timed out for a specific node, the circuit breaker will open and requests to that node will immediately fail. After one second, a single request is allowed to that node. If it fails, the circuit stays open and the process is repeated one second later. If it succeeds, the circuit is closed and behavior returns to normal.
