redis kvstore not working about sorl-thumbnail HOT 7 CLOSED

I have a feeling that it is not accessing redis at all. There are a lot of other things going on with cache so its hard to put a finger on. Any easy suggestions for doing this? Any problems with the settings above?

Yes it does fetch the thumbnail information (as in what file is the corresponding thumbnail and thumbnail size) from cache but the actual file still needs to be accessed form your underlying storage.

I was not talking about the original file.

The original file resides in folder structure

some/project/path/media/images//actual_image.png

that should be accessed whenever its thumbnails are not in redis cache as serialized data. (no doubt)

but sorl is trying to access/write-thumbnails to a folder

some/project/path/media/some/sorl-generated/path/uid.png

and then read off of this newly created file and send it.

in which case the statement "If the key for the thumbnail is found in the Key Value Store, the serialized thumbnail information is fetched from it and returned." false, as far as I understand.

Why should sorl use any underlying storage for storing the generated thumbnails ?

from sorl-thumbnail.

"If the key for the thumbnail is found in the Key Value Store, the serialized thumbnail information is fetched from it and returned" refers to just what I said: the information about the corresponding thumbnail is stored here. "Why should sorl use any underlying storage for storing the generated thumbnails" - What can I say? We need to store thumbnails somewhere. I think you should continue on stackoverflow because I cannot see that this a problem with sorl.thumbnail at all.

Oh, got it.

I missed the word "information" in the phrase ".. serialized thumbnail information.."

I was assuming the whole image is serialized and stored in the redis, when its actually just the meta information of the thumbnail that is serialized and stored in redis.

thanks for stressing again on your words.

No sweat :)

I should have understood it earlier, if whole images (KB's / MB's of data) are stored in the redis store, the cache will saturate soon.

My bad.
