Can I create multi hash table?

[Steven Grimm]

You have a couple options. If flushing all person data is a very
infrequent operation, you can do a "flush_all" command, which will flush
the entire cache, including all your product data. That's by far the
most efficient (on the memcached side, anyway) but obviously it means
your application will have to repopulate the whole cache, not just the
person data.

Alternately, if you need to flush all your person data often, you can
add another prefix or suffix to your keys: a version number. When you
want to flush the person data, just increase the version number you
append to all your person keys. The old values will still be in the
cache, but you will never look them up and they will eventually fall out
of the cache because of the LRU algorithm.

There is no way to perform bulk operations on a subset of the values in
the cache.

If you tell us a little more about why you want to flush your person
data, one of us can probably offer some alternate approaches. Assuming,
that is, that one of the two suggestions above isn't suitable for you.
