 It is unclear how to set advanced server parameters since the web console exposes so few and I could not find this information in the docs or wiki.

Specifically, I am seeing a lot of "SERVER_ERROR proxy downstream timeout" errors in my client when the server is under heavy load.

I would like to bump this timeout.

 Hi there, are you running a client-side Moxi process or are you accessing the Membase servers directly (over port 11211 for example)?

 

Unfortunately there is currently no good way to modify the server-side proxy parameters but you should be able to control this very well by running a standalone Moxi on your clients: http://wiki.membase.org/display/membase/Standalone+Moxi+Component

I'm accessing the servers directly - not running a standalone moxi (installed quickly using web console.) Suppose I can look into it.

 

THanks.

 Yes, a standalone Moxi should give you noticeably better performance since it will eliminate any extra network hops.

 

Basically, if you send a request to server A for a key that lives on server B, the proxy will have to retrieve it from server B and then send it back to the client.  If you're running a standalone Moxi, the request will go directly to server B.

Got it, additionally, I could use the memcache client with bucket support (already using 2.5 version of net.spy.memcache..)

 Yes, that would remove the need for any proxying.
