Use different flags for chunked and regular data in memcached

ScottMansfield opened this issue · comments

The data in memcached should be set with different flags when the chunked handler is used and when the standard handler is used. This is helpful to differentiate the data if we ever want to have tooling that doesn't speak to memcached through the rend proxy.

The chunking feature is basically never used for Netflix purposes anymore, and it doesn't seem like this feature adds a whole lot of value. We also use our EVCache Client to communicate with the cache, which has its own set of flags that we would want to avoid. It is generally known internally if a cache is chunked or not, and this metadata wouldn't really help.
