SQLite doesn't introduce any additional dependencies, memcached requires installation of memcached (admittedly it's not hard on most distros, but it *is* yet another step) and in most cases the installation of another python module to interface with it.
Memcached might be a good choice for devstack, but it may or may not be the right thing to recommend for Horizon by default. - Gabriel -----Original Message----- From: Yves-Gwenaël Bourhis [mailto:yves-gwenael.bour...@cloudwatt.com] Sent: Friday, October 24, 2014 7:06 AM To: openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [Horizon] [Devstack] Le 24/10/2014 13:30, Chmouel Boudjnah a écrit : > On Fri, Oct 24, 2014 at 12:27 PM, Yves-Gwenaël Bourhis > <yves-gwenael.bour...@cloudwatt.com > <mailto:yves-gwenael.bour...@cloudwatt.com>> wrote: > memcache can be distributed (so usable in HA) and has far better > performances then db sessions. > Why not use memcache by default? > > > I guess for the simple reason that if you restart your memcache you > loose all the sessions? Indeed, and for devstack that's an easy way do do a cleanup of old sessions :-) We are well talking about devstack in this thread, where loosing sessions after a memcache restart is not an issue and looks more like a very handy feature. For production it's another mater, and operators have the choice. -- Yves-Gwenaël Bourhis _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
