Now memcache provides Configurable maximum item size

Many people have asked for memcached to be able to store items larger than 1MB, while it's generally

recommended that one not do this, it is now supported on the commandline. A few enlightened folk have also asked for memcached to reduce the maximum item size. That is also an option.

The new -I parameter allows you to specify the maximum item size at runtime. It supports a unit
postfix to allow for natural expression of item size.

Examples:

memcached -I 256k # Refuse items larger than 256k.


memcached -I 5m  # Allow objects up to 5MB
