Thank you for your suggestion. My problem is my site may have ton of hits
for a second (eg. 2000 hits/second).


My application is redirect url. If  a user enter a url, he will be
redirect to another one. So it needs fast. I store keys is "from_url" and
value is "to_url"

If I call database for a request (of course, this request is not in
memcache yet), I may miss some hits as a query need a time to get back the
result.

ONly when I  need to add a redirect (from_url and to_url), I will update
this memcache
