It is intentionally a dumb cache, optimized for speed only. Applications using memcache do not rely on it for data -- a persistent database with guaranteed reliability is strongly recommended -- but applications can run much faster when cached data is available in memcache.

Introduction Memcache is a high performance key-value cache. It is intentionally a dumb cache, optimized for speed only. Applications using memcache should not rely on it for data -- a persistent database with guaranteed reliability is strongly recommended -- but applications can run much faster when cached data is available in memcache. Memcache was originally written to make LiveJournal [LJ] faster. It now powers all of the fastest web sites that you love. 1.1.

Opcode Command code. Key length Length in bytes of the text key that follows the command extras. Status Status of the response (non-zero on error). Stone & Norbye Expires March 1, 2009 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Memcache Binary Protocol August 2008 Extras length Length in bytes of the command extras. Data type Reserved for future use (Sean is using this soon). Reserved Really reserved for future use (up for grabs). Total body length Length in bytes of extra + key + value. Opaque Will be copied back to you in the response. CAS Data version check. 3. Defined Values 3.1. Magic Byte 0x80 Request packet for this protocol version 0x81 Response packet for this protocol version Magic byte / version. For each version of the protocol, we'll use a different request/response value pair. This is useful for protocol analyzers to distinguish the nature of the packet from the direction which it is moving. Note, it is common to run a memcached instance on a host that also runs an application server. Such a host will both send and receive memcache packets. The version should hopefully correspond only to different meanings of the command byte. In an ideal world, we will not change the header format. As reserved bytes are given defined meaning, the protocol version / magic byte values should be incremented. Traffic analysis tools are encouraged to identify memcache packets and provide detailed interpretation if the magic bytes are recognized and otherwise to provide a generic breakdown of the packet. Note, that the key and value positions can always be identified even if the magic byte or command opcode are not recognized. 3.2. Response Status Possible values of this two-byte field: 0x0000 No error 0x0001 Key not found 0x0002 Key exists 0x0003 Value too large 0x0004 Invalid arguments 0x0005 Item not stored 0x0006 Incr/Decr on non-numeric value.

Command Opcodes Possible values of the one-byte field: 0x00 Get 0x01 Set 0x02 Add 0x03 Replace 0x04 Delete 0x05 Increment 0x06 Decrement 0x07 Quit 0x08 Flush 0x09 GetQ 0x0A No-op 0x0B Version 0x0C GetK 0x0D GetKQ 0x0E Append 0x0F Prepend 0x10 Stat 0x11 SetQ 0x12 AddQ 0x13 ReplaceQ 0x14 DeleteQ 0x15 IncrementQ 0x16 DecrementQ 0x17 QuitQ 0x18 FlushQ 0x19 AppendQ 0x1A PrependQ As a convention all of the commands ending with "Q" for Quiet. A quiet version of a command will omit responses that are considered uninteresting. Whether a given response is interesting is dependent upon the command. See the descriptions of the set commands (Section 4.2) and set commands (Section 4.3) for examples of commands that include quiet variants. 3.4. Data Types This field is currently not used by the memcached server, and is constant. Possible values of the one-byte field: Stone & Norbye Expires March 1, 2009 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Memcache Binary Protocol August 2008 0x00 Raw bytes 4. Commands 4.1. Introduction All communication is initiated by a request from the client, and the server will respond to each request with zero or multiple packets for each request. If the status code of a response packet is non-nil, the body of the packet will contain a textual error message. If the status code is nil, the command opcode will define the layout of the body of the message. 4.1.1. Example The following figure illustrates the packet layout for a packet with an error message. Stone & Norbye Expires March 1, 2009 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Memcache Binary Protocol August 2008 Packet layout: Byte/ 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | / | | | | |0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7|0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7|0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7|0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7| +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 0| 0x81 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 4| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x01 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 8| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x09 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 12| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 16| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 20| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 24| 0x4e ('N') | 0x6f ('o') | 0x74 ('t') | 0x20 (' ') | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 28| 0x66 ('f') | 0x6f ('o') | 0x75 ('u') | 0x6e ('n') | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 32| 0x64 ('d') | +---------------+ Total 33 bytes (24 byte header, and 9 bytes value) Field (offset) (value) Magic (0) : 0x81 Opcode (1) : 0x00 Key length (2,3) : 0x0000 Extra length (4) : 0x00 Data type (5) : 0x00 Status (6,7) : 0x0001 Total body (8-11) : 0x00000009 Opaque (12-15): 0x00000000 CAS (16-23): 0x0000000000000000 Extras : None Key : None Value (24-32): The textual string "Not found" 4.2. Get, Get Quietly, Get Key, Get Key Quietly Request: MUST NOT have extras. Stone & Norbye Expires March 1, 2009 [Page 8] Internet-Draft Memcache Binary Protocol August 2008 MUST have key. MUST NOT have value. Response (if found): MUST have extras. MAY have key. MAY have value. o 4 byte flags Extra data for the get commands: Byte/ 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | / | | | | |0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7|0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7|0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7|0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7| +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 0| Flags | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ Total 4 bytes The get command gets a single key. The getq command is both mum on cache miss and quiet, holding its response until a non-quiet command is issued. Getk and getkq differs from get and getq by adding the key into the response packet. You're not guaranteed a response to a getq/getkq cache hit until you send a non-getq/getkq command later, which uncorks the server and bundles up IOs to send to the client in one go. Clients should implement multi-get (still important for reducing network roundtrips!) as n pipelined requests, the first n-1 being getq/getkq, the last being a regular get/getk. That way you're guaranteed to get a response, and you know when the server's done. You can also do the naive thing and send n pipelined get/getks, but then you could potentially get back a lot of "NOT_FOUND" error code packets. Alternatively, you can send 'n' getq/getkqs, followed by a 'noop' command. 4.2.1. Example To request the data associated with the key "Hello" the following fields must be specified in the packet.

Example The following example requests all statistics from the server Stone & Norbye Expires March 1, 2009 [Page 28] Internet-Draft Memcache Binary Protocol August 2008 Stat request: Byte/ 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | / | | | | |0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7|0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7|0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7|0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7| +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 0| 0x80 | 0x10 | 0x00 | 0x00 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 4| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 8| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 12| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 16| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 20| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ Total 24 bytes Field (offset) (value) Magic (0) : 0x80 Opcode (1) : 0x10 Key length (2,3) : 0x0000 Extra length (4) : 0x00 Data type (5) : 0x00 Reserved (6,7) : 0x0000 Total body (8-11) : 0x00000000 Opaque (12-15): 0x00000000 CAS (16-23): 0x0000000000000000 Extras : None Key : None Value : None The server will send each value in a separate packet with an "empty" packet (no key / no value) to terminate the sequence. Each of the response packets look like the following example: Stone & Norbye Expires March 1, 2009 [Page 29] Internet-Draft Memcache Binary Protocol August 2008 Stat response: Byte/ 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | / | | | | |0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7|0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7|0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7|0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7| +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 0| 0x81 | 0x10 | 0x00 | 0x03 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 4| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 8| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x07 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 12| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 16| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 20| 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | 0x00 | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 24| 0x70 ('p') | 0x69 ('i') | 0x64 ('d') | 0x33 ('3') | +---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+ 28| 0x30 ('0') | 0x37 ('7') | 0x38 ('8') | +---------------+---------------+---------------+ Total 31 bytes (24 byte header, 3 byte key, 4 byte body) Field (offset) (value) Magic (0) : 0x81 Opcode (1) : 0x10 Key length (2,3) : 0x0003 Extra length (4) : 0x00 Data type (5) : 0x00 Status (6,7) : 0x0000 Total body (8-11) : 0x00000007 Opaque (12-15): 0x00000000 CAS (16-23): 0x0000000000000000 Exstras : None Key : The textual string "pid" Value : The textual string "3078" 5. Security Considerations Memcache has no authentication or security layers whatsoever. It is RECOMMENDED that memcache be deployed strictly on closed, protected, back-end networks within a single data center, within a single cluster of servers, or even on a single host, providing shared caching for multiple applications. Memcache MUST NOT be made available on a public network. Stone & Norbye Expires March 1, 2009 [Page 30] Internet-Draft Memcache Binary Protocol August 2008 6.
