The quit
command in Memcached is typically used to close an existing connection to the Memcached server from a Ruby application. This comes handy when you wish to manage resources effectively or terminate unnecessary connections.
Here's an example of how to use the quit
method with Dalli, a popular Ruby gem for interfacing with Memcached servers:
require 'dalli' # Establishing the connection dc = Dalli::Client.new('localhost:11211') # Performing some operations dc.set('abc', 100) # Closing the connection dc.close
In this example, we first establish a connection to the Memcached server running on localhost port 11211. We then perform some operations, like setting a value. Finally, we close the connection using the close
method (the equivalent of quit
).
Q: Can I use the same Memcached connection across multiple Ruby threads? A: No. The Dalli client objects are not designed to be thread-safe. Each thread should use its own client object.
