System and method for managing a cluster of cache servers (trask)

A method for managing cache data, comprising:

• receiving cache data requests at a plurality of webserver computers;
• routing, by a plurality of proxy computers in communication with the plurality of webserver computers and a computer cluster, the cache data requests from the plurality of webserver computers to the computer cluster,
• wherein the computer cluster comprises a plurality of master cache data server computers without a corresponding plurality of slave cache data server computers to store reserve cache data, and
• wherein each proxy computer comprises a sentinel module to monitor a health of the computer cluster, and a trask monitor agent to manage the computer cluster;
• detecting, by the sentinel module, a failed master cache data server computer;
• replacing, by the trask monitor agent, the failed master cache data server computer with a substantially empty reserve master cache data server computer;
• and
• populating the substantially empty reserve master cache data server computer with the reserve cache data from a master database.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to:

• receive cache data requests at a plurality of webserver computers;
• route, by a plurality of proxy computers in communication with the plurality of webserver computers and a computer cluster, the cache data requests from the plurality of webserver computers to the computer cluster,
• wherein the computer cluster comprises a plurality of master cache data server computers without a corresponding plurality of slave cache data server computers to store reserve cache data, and
• wherein each proxy computer comprises a sentinel module to monitor a health of the computer cluster, and a trask monitor agent to manage the computer cluster;
• detect, by the sentinel module, a failed master cache data server computer;
• replace, by the trask monitor agent, the failed master cache data server computer with a substantially empty reserve master cache data server computer;
• and
• populate the substantially empty reserve master cache data server computer with the reserve cache data from a master database.
