Hello list,
I coded a caching system using BerkeleyDB::Hash as the backend. It was
working fine until the database file became fairly large (850M).
At some point the performance degraded and the web server process
accessing the database started hanging. Someone suggested locking issues
being the cause for the hangups, but trying to access the db from a
single script even when there were no other processes accessing it still
hung.
I am sure someone has done a similar thing before and would be very
interested to hear any success/failure stories. I starting to wonder
whether I would be better off just using an RDBMS table (2 columns -
key,value) as the cache backend to avoid these types of issues.
Thanks for any ideas, pointers.
