Description

Using the cmemcache in threaded environment will eventually lead to cache failure.

[FATAL@1262456081.210803] mcm_get_line():1547: memcache(4) protocol error: no \r before \n
[FATAL@1262456081.282046] mcm_get_line():1547: memcache(4) protocol error: no \r before \n
[FATAL@1262456081.282084] mcm_fetch_cmd():1159: memcache(4) protocol error: protocol, expected a response
[FATAL@1262456081.761118] mcm_get_line():1547: memcache(4) protocol error: no \r before \n

Steps to reproduce:

  1. /usr/sbin/ab -n 100 -c 2 ​http://example.com/my_cached_page

Maybe the solution is to use threading.local to store cmemcache objects.

Since support for cmemcache was deprecated in 1.2 due to a lack of maintenance on the cmemcache library itself, probably not worth fixing.
