Spymemcached: Append data

Following step-by-step procedure explains how to append data to  the value associated with a key in the cache.

Step 1: Get MemcachedClient instance. It is a client to a memcached server. Following statement is used to define MemcachedClient.

MemcachedClient client = new MemcachedClient(new InetSocketAddress(hostname, portNum));

Step 2: Once you got the MemcachedClient instance, you can able to write data to server and read data from server. Spymemcached provides following method to append data.

public OperationFuture<Boolean> append(String key, Object val)

Append to an existing value in the cache.

Step 3: After that, you can call the get method of MemcachedClient instance to get the data associated with given key.

public Object get(String key)

Above method return an object associated with given key. If the key don’t exist in memcached server, then it return null.

Following is the complete working application.

  /* Appending data */
  future = memClient.append("12345", " Tutorial");

  System.out.println("Value of the key 12345 is " + memClient.get("12345"));

  CacheClientUtil.shutdownClient(memClient);

 }
}

Output

set status:true
Value of the key 12345 is Java
status:true
Value of the key 12345 is Java Tutorial
