Hi Guys,
I googled and found that time based fragment caching isnt something out of the box. No worries, I'm sure someone wrote a plugin for it. Any pointers? Whats the preferred pattern / technique for implementing time based frag cache expiry. I have a widget box that fetches pics from flickr, i dont want it to fetch more than once in 10 mins or so. Similarily I want to cache the featured profile fragment for at least a day.
Another, newbish question, Now that memory store is the default on cache store in Rails, this means that the cache is duplicated multiple times in each mongrel rails right? So, if i pick up a random record from the database and cache it, it is possible each one of my 6 mongrels would cache potentially upto 6 different records, right?
How would class attributes be handled when we have multiple mongrels trying to update the same class attribute?
Cheers, Aditya
