CAS command is very
useful in concurrent applications. For example, you want to deduct some amount
from customer account on every transaction.
Thread 1 reads cust1
account balance as 1500
Thread 2 also reads the
cust1 account balance as 1500
Thread 2 deduct 300
from cust1 account = 1500-300 = 1200
Thread 1 deduct 100
from cust1 account = 1500-100 = 1400.
As you see above flow,
Actual balance to be deducted from cust1 account is 400, but final amount is
1400. To handle these kind of scenarios, we should use CAS command.

Description
|
key
|
Name of the key.
|
flags
|
It is 32-bit unsigned
integer, stored along with the data in the server and retrieved when you get
the <key value> pair.
|
exptime
|
Expiry time of the
data stored in cache. It is represented in seconds.
|
bytes
|
length of the data in
bytes that needs to be stored in Memcached.
|
unique_cas_token
|
It is a unique token
number obtained from gets comamand.
|
noreply
|
It is optional, when
you pass this parameter, server don’t send any reply back to you.
|
value
|
Value to be saved to
memcached
|
$ telnet 127.0.0.1 11211 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. set balance 0 900 4 1500 STORED gets balance VALUE balance 0 4 36 1500 END
From the above output,
you can see the key ‘balance’ jas cas version 36.
set balance 0 900 4 1200 STORED gets balance VALUE balance 0 4 37 1200 END
As you see, after the
updation of balance, cas number is incremented to 37. Now let me try to update
the balance amount, by specifying the cas version 36.
cas balance 0 900 4 36 1400 EXISTS gets balance VALUE balance 0 4 37 1200 END
As you see, balance is
not reflected when I tried to update the data with lower cas version. Let me
try to update data with current version.
cas balance 0 900 4 37 1400 STORED gets balance VALUE balance 0 4 38 1400 END
Following is the
complete working Java application.

Output
