Thanks for the PR! Can you tell what's the motivation, which problem is solved and how to use it?

[magro]

For me questions arise with the title already, as I don't know what's static / dynamic mode. Links to documentation would of course be useful as well.

Hi https://github.com/awslabs/aws-elasticache-cluster-client-memcached-for-java -Dclient.mode=memcached_client_mode This argument is used to specify the mode of the client that you want to run. Supported options are Static and Dynamic. Dynamic mode enables Auto Discovery feature. Static mode runs without Auto Discovery and has the same functionality as a classic spymemcached client. By default it is set to Dynamic.

Dynamic mode -> http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/UserGuide/AutoDiscovery.Using.html

Static mode->http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/UserGuide/AutoDiscovery.Manual.html

Our specific issue was that we were packaging Amazon ElastiCache Cluster Client with our application for application caching so did not have the option of switching between Elastic Client and spymemcached client but still had the requirement to configure session backup with either manually or with dynamic discovery to support testing in local, uat, stage, and aws production environments differently..

@sbellary Not yet, sorry, I'm having a look now.

Is this being worked on? I have the exact same need.

[magro]

@eschulma I think it's stalled. Maybe you want to pick up what's already there and continue with this?

[eschulma]

My environment is working, and I don't remember much about this now. But it looked like @ashishsodhi was close to being done.

[magro]

@eschulma ok :-)
