Class: cachestore_memcached  - X-Ref

The memcached store.

(Not to be confused with the memcache store)

Configuration options:
servers:        string: host:port:weight , ...
compression:    true, false
serialiser:     SERIALIZER_PHP, SERIALIZER_JSON, SERIALIZER_IGBINARY
prefix:         string: defaults to instance name
hashmethod:     HASH_DEFAULT, HASH_MD5, HASH_CRC, HASH_FNV1_64, HASH_FNV1A_64, HASH_FNV1_32,
HASH_FNV1A_32, HASH_HSIEH, HASH_MURMUR
bufferwrites:   true, false

__construct($name, array $configuration = array()   X-Ref
Constructs the store instance.

Noting that this function is not an initialisation. It is used to prepare the store for use.
The store will be initialised when required and will be provided with a cache_definition at that time.

param: string $name
param: array $configuration

is_connection_ready()   X-Ref
Confirm whether the connection is ready and usable.

return: boolean

initialise(cache_definition $definition)   X-Ref
Initialises the cache.

Once this has been done the cache is all set to be used.

param: cache_definition $definition

is_initialised()   X-Ref
Returns true once this instance has been initialised.

return: bool

is_ready()   X-Ref
Returns true if this store instance is ready to be used.

return: bool

are_requirements_met()   X-Ref
Returns true if the store requirements are met.

return: bool

is_supported_mode($mode)   X-Ref
Returns true if the given mode is supported by this store.

return: bool
param: int $mode One of cache_store::MODE_*

get_supported_features(array $configuration = array()   X-Ref
Returns the supported features as a combined int.

return: int
param: array $configuration

supports_multiple_identifiers()   X-Ref
Returns false as this store does not support multiple identifiers.
(This optional function is a performance optimisation; it must be
consistent with the value from get_supported_features.)

return: bool False

get_supported_modes(array $configuration = array()   X-Ref
Returns the supported modes as a combined int.

return: int
param: array $configuration

get($key)   X-Ref
Retrieves an item from the cache store given its key.

return: mixed The data that was associated with the key, or false if the key did not exist.
param: string $key The key to retrieve

get_many($keys)   X-Ref
Retrieves several items from the cache store in a single transaction.

If not all of the items are available in the cache then the data value for those that are missing will be set to false.

return: array An array of items from the cache. There will be an item for each key, those that were not in the store will
param: array $keys The array of keys to retrieve

set($key, $data)   X-Ref
Sets an item in the cache given its key and data value.

return: bool True if the operation was a success false otherwise.
param: string $key The key to use.
param: mixed $data The data to set.

set_many(array $keyvaluearray)   X-Ref
Sets many items in the cache in a single transaction.

return: int The number of items successfully set. It is up to the developer to check this matches the number of items
param: array $keyvaluearray An array of key value pairs. Each item in the array will be an associative array with two

delete($key)   X-Ref
Deletes an item from the cache store.

return: bool Returns true if the operation was a success, false otherwise.
param: string $key The key to delete.

delete_many(array $keys)   X-Ref
Deletes several keys from the cache in a single action.

return: int The number of items successfully deleted.
param: array $keys The keys to delete

delete_many_connection(Memcached $connection, array $keys)   X-Ref
Deletes several keys from the cache in a single action for a specific connection.

return: int The number of items successfully deleted.
param: Memcached $connection The connection to work on.
param: array $keys The keys to delete

purge()   X-Ref
Purges the cache deleting all items within it.

return: boolean True on success. False otherwise.

get_prefixed_keys(Memcached $connection, $prefix)   X-Ref
Returns all of the keys in the given connection that belong to this cache store instance.

Requires php memcached extension version 2.0.0 or greater.

return: array
param: Memcached $connection
param: string $prefix

config_get_serialiser_options()   X-Ref
Gets an array of options to use as the serialiser.

return: array

config_get_hash_options()   X-Ref
Gets an array of hash options available during configuration.

return: array

config_get_configuration_array($data)   X-Ref
Given the data from the add instance form this function creates a configuration array.

return: array
param: stdClass $data

config_set_edit_form_data(moodleform $editform, array $config)   X-Ref
Allows the cache store to set its data against the edit form before it is shown to the user.

param: moodleform $editform
param: array $config

instance_deleted()   X-Ref
Performs any necessary clean up when the store instance is being deleted.


initialise_test_instance(cache_definition $definition)   X-Ref
Generates an instance of the cache store that can be used for testing.

return: cachestore_memcached|false
param: cache_definition $definition

unit_test_configuration()   X-Ref
Generates the appropriate configuration required for unit testing.

return: array Array of unit test configuration data to be used by initialise().

my_name()   X-Ref
Returns the name of this instance.

return: string

get_warnings()   X-Ref
Used to notify of configuration conflicts.

The warnings returned here will be displayed on the cache configuration screen.

return: string[] Returns an array of warnings (strings)

ready_to_be_used_for_testing()   X-Ref
Returns true if this cache store instance is both suitable for testing, and ready for testing.

Cache stores that support being used as the default store for unit and acceptance testing should
override this function and return true if there requirements have been met.

return: bool
