Driver Memcache "clear" = "inc" ? about stash HOT 2 CLOSED

If i'm not mistaken, it increments the path key, not the value of the stored item.
Which invalidates it, as now Stash won't be able to access the stored value anymore.

If i'm understanding things correctly, when you store a value, Stash will:

• create a key with the path, and an md5 digest as the value
• then store your item with that md5 as its key

The clear method increments the md5 digest, making the stored item inaccessible. Memcached will eventually evict it, as no one will access it anymore from that point onwards.

As to why it doesn't simply use delete - i assume it has something to do with path support and making the children of a path inaccessible too.

PS: Memcached total items number is not an issue, Memcached will fill up until all the available RAM is used up, then start evicting the unused items.

Exactly.
