Unfortunately there is no “exists” operation in memcached, but there are some hacks you can do:
client.Store(StoreMode.Add, keyToCheck, null, new Date(2000, 1, 1));Add fails if the item already exists, and will return false in this case.client.Append(keyToCheck, new ArraySegment<byte>(new byte[0]))This will returntrueif the key exists, but its value will not change.client.Cas(StoreMode.Set, keyToCheck, null, UInt64.MaxValue)This will also fail if the item exists.Please keep in mind that all three operations will create an item if the key does not exist, so you need to clean up after them.
Also, if multiple threads are checking for the same item, then it’s possible that one thread will treat another threads temp item as the real one.
