# kaya-session-memcache
Memcached-backed session storage for the Kaya web framework.
Provides `MemcacheSessionStore`, a `SessionStore` implementation (from
`kaya-session`) that persists session data in memcached via `aiomcache`, so
sessions are shared across processes and hosts.
## Usage
```python
import aiomcache
from kaya.core import KayaApp, HttpContext
from kaya.session import SessionMixin
from kaya.session.memcache import MemcacheSessionStore
client = aiomcache.Client('127.0.0.1', 11211)
session = SessionMixin(MemcacheSessionStore(client))
app = KayaApp(mixins=[session])
@app.GET('/')
async def home(ctx: HttpContext):
n = ctx.session.get('visits', 0) + 1
ctx.session['visits'] = n
await ctx.send_str(200, f'visits: {n}')
```
Sessions are stored under keys with the prefix `kaya:session:` (configurable
via the `prefix` argument). Server-side expiry uses memcached item expiration
and slides on each access when the session mixin passes a `max_age`. TTLs
larger than 30 days are automatically converted to absolute Unix timestamps,
as required by the memcached protocol.
## Session indexes
`MemcacheSessionStore` supports `Session.add_index()`,
`SessionStore.find_sessions()`, and `delete_by_index()`. Reverse memberships
are stored as sets and updated with memcached CAS operations. Bucket keys use
a SHA-256 digest of the index name and value, and stale members are pruned
during lookups.
Memcached's item-size limit (normally 1 MB) applies to each index bucket. Use
the Redis store when one index value can have a very large number of active
sessions.
## Serialization
Session data is serialized with `pickle` by default, so arbitrary Python
objects can be stored. The serialized value is an envelope containing the
session dictionary and index metadata; legacy plain-dict values are still
accepted. A different serializer can be plugged in via the `dumps`/`loads`
arguments:
```python
import json
store = MemcacheSessionStore(
client,
dumps=lambda d: json.dumps(d).encode('utf-8'),
loads=lambda b: json.loads(b.decode('utf-8')),
)
```
**Warning:** pickle deserialization of untrusted data is unsafe. Only use the
default serializer with a trusted memcached server.
