Description:
------------
If one of two memcached servers is down - system do not selects working memcached server.
In reproduce code server2 is down and server1 is OK. If we remove server2 from $memcache->addServers() method - then code works OK.

&#1054;S: Ubuntu 8.04
Repcached: 2.2
PECL Memcached: 1.0.2
libmemcached: 0.40
PHP: 5.2.4

Reproduce code:
---------------
$memcache = new Memcached();

$memcache->setOption(Memcached::OPT_LIBKETAMA_COMPATIBLE, true);
$memcache->setOption(Memcached::OPT_DISTRIBUTION, Memcached::DISTRIBUTION_CONSISTENT);

// server2 is down and server1 is OK.
$memcache->addServers(array('server1', 11211), array('server2', 11211));

$memcache->set('var1', 'qwerty');
echo $memcache->get('var1');


Expected result:
----------------
Must be shown "qwerty"

Actual result:
--------------
Nothing shown. (getResultCode() returns RES_WRITE_FAILURE = 5)

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug.

libmemcached does not do failover like this by default. You 
can use replication with pecl/memcached that's in master 
branch on Github though.

And I also want to mention that if in servers pool will be server that is down then method Memcached::getStats() will return error.

Hmmm...I'm not realy understood you.
I've using repcached for replicating data between servers. I'd run server2 as master and server1 as a slave (made test via telnet to check data replicates correctly). Then I'd put down server2(master) and tried to run my test code with server1 and server2 in pool - and I got error RES_WRITE_FAILURE. But I expects that memcached chooses a different server...
Anyway, if libmemcached does not do failover - for what purposes there is options like OPT_RETRY_TIMEOUT, OPT_SERVER_FAILURE_LIMIT? It seems I don't understand something...

I reopened this issue. Please see my two previous comments.

pecl/memcached is a pretty thin wrapper on top of 
libmemcached, so you'd be better off asking these questions 
on libmemcached mailing list. Here's the meaning of the 
settings you're asking about (from manpages):


       MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_SERVER_FAILURE_LIMIT
           This number of times a host can have an error 
before it is disabled.


       MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_RETRY_TIMEOUT
           When enabled a host which is problematic will 
only be checked for usage based on the amount of
           time set by this behavior.

Closing because of age. Please try version 2.0.1 and reopen if this still occurs.
