this is dumb. caches should 'just work'. I think the default behavior should be to evict - even if that requires moving slabs around.
the 'cache' contract is simple; puts should never fail, and no data persistence is guaranteed.
Too many people try to use memcache as an out-of-process hashtable and not as a cache.
Quoted: But, if we attempt to insert an item of say 15B, we will get an "out of memory" error because class 6 (the class would be of size 64B) has no items, and thus no pages have been assigned. But, all pages are currently being used, and memcached cannot allocate a 1MB page to class 6.

Pretty controversial. Didn't get a chance to read it thoroughly enough to know where I stand.

I read a book of poems by Rumi a few weeks back. In it, there's a story of a man who travels to find a treasure as shown to him in a dream.
Plot similar to the overarching plot of the alchemist.
BTW: read rumi if you get a chance. it's not so much poetry as broken up prose (i find poetry hard to comprehend usually). it's truly beautiful.
Quoted: . In a modern translation the story (told in verse) is titled "In Baghdad, Dreaming of Cairo: In Cairo, Dreaming of Baghdad". (The Essential Rumi, transl. Coleman Barks, New York: HarperCollins, 1995). In it, a poor man in Baghdad who inherits a lot of money and land only to squander it quickly and become poor again has a dream, in which a voice tells him to go to Cairo and dig in a certain spot to find his wealth. When he gets there, while wandering the streets and begging for coins he is picked up by a night patrol. When he tells his story to the patrolman, the latter calls him a fool and tells him of a similar dream (which he had dismissed) about a place in Baghdad, describing the very street and house in which the poor man lives.
