Apache Geode

Gemcached

Gemcached is a Geode adapter that allows Memcached clients to communicate with a Geode server cluster, as if the servers were memcached servers. Memcached is an open-source caching solution that uses a distributed, in-memory hash map to store key-value pairs of string or object data.

For information about Memcached, see http://www.memcached.org.

• How Gemcached Works

  Applications use memcached clients to access data stored in embedded Gemcached servers.

• Deploying and Configuring a Gemcached Server

  You can configure and deploy Gemcached servers in a Java class or by using the gfsh command-line interface.

• Advantages of Gemcached over Memcached

  The standard memcached architecture has inherent architectural challenges that make memcached applications difficult to write, maintain, and scale. Using Gemcached with Geode addresses these challenges.
