This is an workaround solution to adjust the bmemcached to be workable with Apache Ignite (tested with 2.5.0). Apache Ignite does not compatible with the client library that try to use extra flags for internal purpose and unfortunately, most of memcached binary client library use it for saving the data type or compression mode and so on. So this repo adjust the extra flags of original bmemcached library to fit with Ignite extra flags for some data types, the remaining data types will be serialized internally by Python pickler.

Currently, this repo is here due to internal purposes of https://doopage.com and https://youthdev.net and we provide no guarantee of keeping upgrading or developing this library. So please consider carefully and fork this repo to your account if needed. However, issue reported is welcome and we will try to allocate our resource to fix it in mean time.

This repo is well tested and is running for https://doopage.com which aim to be a replacement for python-binary-memcached library but work with Apache Ignite only. There is no code changes needed for the replacement.

Notice: This library can not work with Memcached backend anymore due to difference in expiry time unit (Ignite use milisecond while Memcached backend is second).

A pure python module (thread safe) to access memcached via it's binary with SASL auth support.

The main purpose of this module it to be able to communicate with memcached using binary protocol and support authentication, so it can work with Heroku for example.

Latest compiled docs on Read The Docs here.

This library introduce an ability to auto retry for immutable commands (get/set/replace), so the lib will retry (default max retry = 5) on network problems.

Use pip or easy_install.

pip install https://github.com/youthdev/python-bmemcached-ignite/archive/master.zip

import bmemcached
client = bmemcached.Client(('127.0.0.1:11211', ), 'user',
                            'password')
client.set('key', 'value')
print(client.get('key'))

Using it with distributed keys

import bmemcached
client = bmemcached.DistributedClient(
    ('127.0.0.1:11211', ), 'user', 'password'
)
client.set('key', 'value')
print(client.get('key'))

python-binary-memcached unit tests are found in the test/ directory and are designed to be run using pytest. pytest will discover the tests automatically, so all you have to do is:

$ pytest
...
170 passed in 4.43 seconds

This runs the tests with the default Python interpreter.

You can also verify that the tests pass on other supported Python interpreters. For this we use tox, which will automatically create a virtualenv for each supported Python version and run the tests. For example:

$ tox
...
py27: commands succeeded
ERROR:  py34: InterpreterNotFound: python3.4
py35: commands succeeded
py36: commands succeeded
py37: commands succeeded
py38: commands succeeded

You may not have all the required Python versions installed, in which case you will see one or more InterpreterNotFound errors.
