delete_matched for ActiveSupport::Cache::DalliStore

[equivalent]

Hi,

I just want to ask what would you recommend to fake functionality of delete_matched for ActiveSupport::Cache::DalliStore the only solution that I found is :

• http://www.moleculardensity.net/blog/posts/2
• https://github.com/Phobos98/dalli-delete-matched

...would you go with this ?

Also, I kinda get that Dalli doesn't have any build in functionality to match keys so that application need to do it manually, however it seems to me strange why. Could you explain it to me why ?

Hi,

There's a fork of dalli-delete-matched that's compatible with latest dalli gem (2.7.2 as writing).

https://github.com/codez/dalli-delete-matched

But... it seems each time you store a key, the dalli-delete-matched gem reads and rewrites an array of all keys, which can slow down a lot and limit the benefits of cache.

Memcached doesn't allow listing keys, so this feature has to be managed by your self. Maybe that's why it's not implemented in DalliStore.

Per @kikan that's exactly why it isn't supported in ActiveSupport::Cache::DalliStore. Not planning to add this feature. Closing.
