   List of Examples

   1.1. Set cachedb_url parameter
   1.2. Set timeout parameter
   1.3. Set exec_threshold parameter
   1.4. Set lazy_connect parameter
   1.5. Use CouchBase servers

Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1.1. Overview

   This module is an implementation of a cache system designed to
   work with a Couchbase server. It uses the libcouchbase client
   library to connect to the server instance, It uses the
   Key-Value interface exported from the core.

1.2. Advantages

     * memory costs are no longer on the server
     * many servers can be used inside a cluster, so the memory is
       virtually unlimited
     * the cache is 100% persistent. A restart of OpenSIPS server
       will not affect the DB. The CouchBase DB is also persistent
       so it can also be restarted without loss of information.
     * CouchBase is an open-source project so it can be used to
       exchange data with various other applications
     * By creating a CouchBase Cluster, multiple OpenSIPS
       instances can easily share key-value information

1.3. Limitations

     * keys (in key:value pairs) may not contain spaces or control
       characters

1.4. Dependencies

1.4.1. OpenSIPS Modules

   None.

1.4.2. External Libraries or Applications

   The following libraries or applications must be installed
   before running OpenSIPS with this module loaded:
     * libcouchbase >= 2.0:
       libcoucbase can be downloaded from
       http://www.couchbase.com/develop/c/current

1.5. Exported Parameters

1.5.1. cachedb_url (string)

   The urls of the server groups that OpenSIPS will connect to in
   order to use the from script cache_store,cache_fetch, etc
   operations. It can be set more than one time. The prefix part
   of the URL will be the identifier that will be used from the
   script. The format of the URL is
   couchbase[:identifier]://[username:password@]IP:Port/bucket_nam
   e

   Example 1.1. Set cachedb_url parameter
...
modparam("cachedb_couchbase", "cachedb_url","couchbase:group1://localhos
t:6379/default")
modparam("cachedb_couchbase", "cachedb_url","couchbase:cluster1://random
_url:8888/my_bucket")
# Multiple hosts
modparam("cachedb_couchbase", "cachedb_url","couchbase:cluster1://random
_url1:8888,random_url2:8888,random_url3:8888/my_bucket")
...

1.5.2. timeout (int)

   The max duration in microseconds that a couchbase op is
   expected to last. Default is 3000000 ( 3 seconds )

   Example 1.2. Set timeout parameter
...
modparam("cachedb_couchbase", "timeout",5000000);
...

1.5.3. exec_threshold (int)

   The maximum number of microseconds that a couchbase query can
   last. Anything above the threshold will trigger a warning
   message to the log

   Default value is “0 ( unlimited - no warnings )”.

   Example 1.3. Set exec_threshold parameter
...
modparam("cachedb_couchbase", "exec_threshold", 100000)
...

1.5.4. lazy_connect (int)

   Delay connecting to a bucket until the first time it is used.
   Connecting to many buckets at startup can be time consuming.
   This option allows for faster startup by delaying connections
   until they are needed. This option can be dangerous for
   untested bucket configurations/settings. Always test first
   without lazy_connect. This option will show errors in the log
   during the first access made to a bucket. Default is 0 (
   Connect to all buckets on startup )

   Example 1.4. Set lazy_connect parameter
...
modparam("cachedb_couchbase", "lazy_connect", 1);
...

   Example 1.5. Use CouchBase servers
...
cache_store("couchbase:group1","key","$ru value");
cache_fetch("couchbase:cluster1","key",$avp(10));
cache_remove("couchbase:cluster1","key");
...

1.5.5. Exported Functions

   The module does not export functions to be used in
   configuration script.

   (1) DevScore = author_commits + author_lines_added /
   (project_lines_added / project_commits) + author_lines_deleted
   / (project_lines_deleted / project_commits)

   (2) including any documentation-related commits, excluding
   merge commits. Regarding imported patches/code, we do our best
   to count the work on behalf of the proper owner, as per the
   "fix_authors" and "mod_renames" arrays in
   opensips/doc/build-contrib.sh. If you identify any
   patches/commits which do not get properly attributed to you,
   please submit a pull request which extends "fix_authors" and/or
   "mod_renames".

   (3) ignoring whitespace edits, renamed files and auto-generated
   files
