Twemproxy: Download & Install & Config & Start

Download:

First install:

apt-get install autoconf automake  
apt-get install libtool

Get twemproxy:

wget https://github.com/twitter/twemproxy/archive/v0.4.0.tar.gz

or

git clone git@github.com:twitter/twemproxy.git

---

Install:

$ cd twemproxy
$ autoreconf -fvi
$ ./configure --enable-debug=full
$ make
$ src/nutcracker -h

A quick checklist:

• Use newer version of gcc (older version of gcc has problems)
• Use CFLAGS=”-O1” ./configure && make
• Use CFLAGS=”-O3 -fno-strict-aliasing” ./configure && make
• autoreconf -fvi && ./configure needs automake and libtool to be installed

---

Config:

vim /usr/servers/twemproxy-0.4.0/conf/nutcracker.yml

eg:

server1:
  listen: 127.0.0.1:22121
  hash: fnv1a_64
  distribution: ketama
  redis: true
  servers:
    - 127.0.0.1:6379:1

---

Start:

/usr/servers/twemproxy-0.4.0/src/nutcracker  -d -c /usr/servers/twemproxy-0.4.0/conf/nutcracker.yml 

-d指定后台启动
-c指定配置文件
此处我们指定了代理端口为22121

查看是否启动成功

ps -aux | grep nutcracker

Redis客户端redis-cli连接Twemproxy:

$ redis-cli -p 22121

If:
The program 'redis-cli' is currently not installed.

Then:
You can install it by typing:
