Nemcache is a persistent, key-value store implemented in C# 4.5. It is client compatible with Memcache (an in-memory key-value store).
Nemcache uses TopShelf to handle service installation. First, clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/dave-hillier/nemcache.git
After cloning the repository, run either msbuild or open Nemcache.Sln in Visual Studio and build.
To start the service as a command line application, simply run Nemcache.Service.exe
To install as a windows service:
Nemcache.Service.exe install
Followed by this to start:
Nemcache.Service.exe start
For more information about the command line parameters use help:
Nemcache.Service.exe help
The following commands from the Memcached specification are implemented: get (and gets), set, add, replace, delete, append, prepend, incr, decr, touch, flush_all, cas, quit and version.
Currently only TCP is supported including the noreply mode.
Flags support up-to 64 bit values, although this is a divergence from the original spec and therefore might not be supported by your client.
The cache is persisted to file so state can be maintained across cache restarts.
