Comment 25 for bug 1006414

I don't have a permission to see the proposed essex backport but IMHO patch as-is is not appropriate for the stable branch.
It should at least be modified to have memcache_serialization_support=0 as default to avoid surprises on upgrade!

BTW does Swift team maintain stable branch at all? Currently stable/essex branch == 1.4.8 tag and last I remember was that stable for Swift is not needed, quoting PTL from one stable/essex proposal: "taking into account that swift releases are frequent, prod-ready, and there is a migration path for them" https://review.openstack.org/#/c/6619/
