Caching layer¶
Identity supports a caching layer that is above the configurable subsystems,
such as token or assignment. The majority of the caching configuration options
are set in the [cache] section. However, each section that has the
capability to be cached usually has a caching option that will toggle
caching for that specific section. By default, caching is globally disabled.
Options are as follows:
| Configuration option = Default value | Description |
|---|---|
| [memcache] | |
dead_retry = 300 |
(Integer) Number of seconds memcached server is considered dead before it is tried again. This is used by the key value store system (e.g. token pooled memcached persistence backend). |
pool_connection_get_timeout = 10 |
(Integer) Number of seconds that an operation will wait to get a memcache client connection. This is used by the key value store system (e.g. token pooled memcached persistence backend). |
pool_maxsize = 10 |
(Integer) Max total number of open connections to every memcached server. This is used by the key value store system (e.g. token pooled memcached persistence backend). |
pool_unused_timeout = 60 |
(Integer) Number of seconds a connection to memcached is held unused in the pool before it is closed. This is used by the key value store system (e.g. token pooled memcached persistence backend). |
Current functional back ends are:
dogpile.cache.memcached- Memcached back end using the standard
python-memcachedlibrary. dogpile.cache.pylibmc- Memcached back end using the
pylibmclibrary. dogpile.cache.bmemcached- Memcached using the
python-binary-memcachedlibrary. dogpile.cache.redis- Redis back end.
dogpile.cache.dbm- Local DBM file back end.
dogpile.cache.memory- In-memory cache, not suitable for use outside of testing as it does not cleanup its internal cache on cache expiration and does not share cache between processes. This means that caching and cache invalidation will not be consistent or reliable.
dogpile.cache.mongo- MongoDB as caching back end.
