DBABagOStuff was not refactored by r83140 which pass BagOStuff constructors
an array. This patch honor the 'dir' parameter to let you override the global
$wgTmpDirectory.
Need backport in REL1_18
* Do queries in batches of 100 rows instead of all at once. Note that if there are a lot of objects with the exact same expiry time, it might take multiple runs of the script to delete them all.
* Progress meter.
As Brion points out in <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29747#c7>, the shared memory functions are very buggy. In fact, eAccelerator has disabled the shared memory functions by default for awhile now. I didn't touch APC, XCache or WinCache, but I imagine they suffer from the same problems.
PHP fatal error in /usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.18/includes/objectcache/MemcachedPhpBagOStuff.php line 91:
Call to undefined method MemCachedClientforWiki::lock()
* Fixed unintentional shortcut evaluation in MultiWriteBagOStuff::doWrite(). It would have caused writes to be skipped on the second cache if the first cache failed, now writes should be attempted on all caches.
Patch from John Du Hart: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=8849&action=diff
If XCache is present, but the xcache.var_size setting is off, we'll now consider it as xcache being disabled for CACHE_ACCEL purposes. It won't trigger view of the accelerator option in the installer, and at runtime if using CACHE_ACCEL and no other modules are available, it'll throw an error so you know that it doesn't work!
* In MemcachedSessions.php, register a shutdown function to shut down the session early, before $wgMemc is destroyed. I'm not sure why my recent changes caused this problem to show up now.
* Use EmptyBagOStuff instead of FakeMemCachedClient in DefaultSettings.php for CACHE_NONE.
* Moved the global functions to GlobalFunctions.php, where they are now just convenience wrappers. Made them return non-references. Updated callers (none found in extensions).
* Added an advanced configuration method, $wgObjectCaches, which allows a lot more detail in the object cache configuration than $wgMainCacheType.
* Made all object cache classes derive from BagOStuff.
* Split the MWMemcached class into a generic client class and a MediaWiki-specific wrapper class. The wrapper class presents a simple BagOStuff interface to calling code, hiding memcached client internals, and will simplify the task of supporting the PECL extension.
* Added some extra constructor parameters to MWMemcached, configurable via $wgObjectCaches.
* Removed the *_multi() methods from BagOStuff, my grepping indicates that they are not used.
* Rewrote FakeMemCachedClient as a BagOStuff subclass, called EmptyBagOStuff.
* Added an optional "server" parameter to SQLBagOStuff. This allows the server holding the objectcache table to be different from the server holding the core DB.
* Added MultiWriteBagOStuff: a cache class which writes to multiple locations, and reads from them in a defined fallback sequence. This can be used to extend the cache space by adding disk-backed storage to existing in-memory caches.
* Made MWMemcached::get() return false on failure instead of null, to match the BagOStuff documentation and the other BagOStuff subclasses. Anything that was relying on it returning null would have already been broken with SqlBagOStuff.
* Fixed a bug in the memcached client causing keys with spaces or line breaks in them to break the memcached protocol, injecting arbitrary commands or parameters. Since the PECL client apparently also has this flaw, I implemented the fix in the wrapper class.
* Renamed BagOStuff::set_debug() to setDebug(), since we aren't emulating the memcached client anymore
* Fixed spelling error in MWMemcached: persistant -> persistent
