## Package com.google.appengine.api.memcache

The memcache API provides access to fast but unreliable data storage, which may also be accessed via the JCache API.

Description

Interface Summary
ErrorHandler | Handles errors raised by the `MemcacheService`, registered with `MemcacheService.setErrorHandler(ErrorHandler)`.
MemcacheService | The Java API for the App Engine Memcache service.
MemcacheService.IdentifiableValue | Encapsulates an Object that is returned by `MemcacheService.getIdentifiable(java.lang.Object)`.
Stats | Statistics from the cache, available via `MemcacheService.getStatistics()`

Class Summary
Expiration | Expiration specifications on `MemcacheService.putAll(Map , Expiration)` and `MemcacheService.put(Object, Object, Expiration)` operations.
LogAndContinueErrorHandler | The default error handler, which will cause most service errors to behave as though there were a cache miss, not an error.
MemcacheSerialization | Static serialization helpers shared by `MemcacheServiceImpl` and `com.google.appengine.api.memcache.dev.LocalMemcacheService`.
MemcacheSerialization.ValueAndFlags | Tuple of a serialized byte array value and associated flags to interpret that value.
MemcacheServiceFactory | The factory by which users acquire a handle to the MemcacheService.
StrictErrorHandler | A strict error handler, which will throw `MemcacheServiceException` for any service error condition.

Enum Summary
MemcacheSerialization.Flag | Values used as flags on the MemcacheService's values.
MemcacheService.SetPolicy | Cache replacement strategies for `MemcacheService.put(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object, com.google.appengine.api.memcache.Expiration, com.google.appengine.api.memcache.MemcacheService.SetPolicy)` operations, indicating how to handle putting a value that already exists.

Exception Summary
InvalidValueException | Thrown when a cache entry has content, but it cannot be read.
MemcacheServiceException | An exception for backend non-availability or similar error states which may occur, but are not necessarily indicative of a coding or usage error by the application.

## Package com.google.appengine.api.memcache Description

The memcache API provides access to fast but unreliable data storage, which may also be accessed via the JCache API. Objects may be stored in the cache with an explicit expiration time, but may also be evicted before that expiration to make room for newer, more active entries. More information is available in the on-line documentation.

The cache is accessed via a `MemcacheService` object, obtained from the `MemcacheServiceFactory`. It offers the cache as a map from key `Object` to value `Object`.

In the Development Server, the system property `memcache.maxsize` can be set to limit the available cache, taking values like "100M" (the default), "10K", or "768" (bytes).

Because the cache offers best-effort data storage, by default most errors are treated as a cache miss. More explicit error handling can be installed via `MemcacheService.setErrorHandler(ErrorHandler)`.
