I want to cache an entire list...but it won't fit in Memcache

Because this list is like 2MB big...and memcache max memory is开发者_运维问答 only 1MB.

Is there a simple key/value alternative, just like memcache, except it can do bigger size?

If you're up for it, you can recompile memcached with a higher size limit, look here: http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/FAQ#Why_are_items_limited_to_1_megabyte_in_size?

You can try Hazelcast. It is an open source clustering and highly scalable data distribution platform for Java. The current release is 1.8.4. The next one will have both Memcache and Rest interfaces available. You can give it a try.
