Hi,
What's memcached's maximum key expiration time?
If I don't provide an expiration time and the cache gets full, what happens?

A:
If you don't provide expiration and cache get's full then the oldest key-values are expired first.

OK, I found out that the number of seconds may not exceed 2592000 (30 days). So the maximum expiration time is 30 days.

No, that's not true. The number of seconds in a *duration* form may not exceed 30 days. You can specify an expiration three months out if you want to as an absolute time. You can also specify 0 to not have an expiration.

I believe you can set key expiration to a date, instead of an amount of time. The date can be more than 30 days in the future:
