The spymemcached library functionality is now avaliable via Couchbase-client and spymemcached libraries. Couchbase Connections, Connection Factory and the storage and retrieval operations is abstracted in the Couchbase-client library and ought to be the predominant library to be used by Java programs. Memcached functionality is still available with spymemcached.

Consequently, the package structure has a new com.couchbase.client package in addition to the exisiting net.spy.memcached package.

For example, the connection to Couchbase can be obtained using the Couchbase-client library objects and methods.

List<URI> uris = new LinkedList<URI>();

 // Connect to localhost or to the appropriate URI
 uris.add(URI.create("http://127.0.0.1:8091/pools"));
 try {
 client = new CouchbaseClient(uris, "default", "");
 } catch (Exception e) {
 System.err.println("Error connecting to Couchbase: "
 + e.getMessage());
 System.exit(0);
 }

or using the CouchbaseConnectionFactory as below.

CouchbaseConnectionFactory cf = new CouchbaseConnectionFactory(uris,
 "rags", "password");
 client = new CouchbaseClient((CouchbaseConnectionFactory) cf);
