| Tag Name | maximum_object_size (bytes) |
| Usage | maximum_object_size (bytes) |
Description
Objects larger than this size will NOT be saved on disk. The value is specified in kilobytes, and the default is 4 MB. If you wish to get a high BYTES hit ratio, you should probably increase this (one 32 MB object hit counts for 3200 10 KB hits). If you wish to increase speed more than your want to save bandwidth, you should leave this low. During the initial downloading of a file, the downloading time seems to be a normal one, but if you download the same file again, the time it takes for download will be very minimum. This indicates that, the file comes from the Cache.
| Default | maximum_object_size 4096 KB |
Example
maximum_object_size 2000 KB
Caution
If using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase this value to maximize the byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA. See replacement_policy for a discussion of this policy.
