This is my practice for learning Erlang.

Overview

Ememcached is a memcached server implementation written in Erlang. Currently, Ememcached is partially compatible with memcached.

available commands:

• get
• set (expire is not supported)
• delete
• incr
• decr

Of course, text portocol only!

Quick Start

Requirements

Ememcached requires Erlang R16B01.

Building Ememcached

Just hit make command (or ./rebar compile and ./rebar generate)

$ cd ememcached
$ make
./rebar compile
==> rel (compile)
==> ememcached (compile)
Compiled src/ememcached_sup.erl
Compiled src/ememcached_worker.erl
Compiled src/ememcached_storage.erl
Compiled src/ememcached_listener_sup.erl
Compiled src/ememcached_connections_sup.erl
Compiled src/ememcached_app.erl
Compiled src/ememcached_acceptors_sup.erl
Compiled src/ememcached_acceptor.erl
Compiled src/ememcached.erl
Compiled src/ememcached_server_api.erl
./rebar generate
==> rel (generate)

Starting ememcached

After build, change directory to rel/ememcached/bin, then execute following command.

• ./ememcached start Start the server (default tcp port 11211).
• ./ememcached stop Stop the server.

To check if the emecached server is running, you can ping to the server.

• ./ememcached ping Send a ping to the server.

Example:

$ cd rel/ememcached/bin
$ ./ememcached start 
$ ./ememcahced ping
pong
$ ./ememcached stop
ok

Options

If you don't want to start with default port 11211, you can change port with following option.

$ ./ememcached start -ememcached port 12345
