Add Get Quietly, Get Key, Get Key Quietly methods

[chylvina]

According to https://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/MemcacheBinaryProtocol, do you have a plan to add these 3 method?

And I can help if needed.

and
4.6. quit

I don't think the get variants are valuable to expose in the client interface (it's useful as a building block for higher level operations like multi-get, or for handling get requests asynchronously).

Multi-get would certainly be valuable (often implemented as a series of get-key-quietly so) although I haven't thought through whether it would require any significant changes in how callbacks are invoked in server.js

Fairly simple but useful features that I would be thrilled if you submitted a patch for (no one has asked for these yet, but they should be there):

• Append/prepend
• An optimization of set to use set-quietly when a callback isn't passed. SetQ isn't documented as well as getq, but basically it only responds if there was an error (which if there is no callback should probably just be discarded).
• Touch command

Thanks for your interest! BTW, you probably want to be looking at this wiki page which is slightly more up to date: http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/BinaryProtocolRevamped

we could, in principal add quit commands to the Client#close function, i'm not against that - it's more polite to the server even if not strictly necessary.

[chylvina]

OK, I'll check it out first.

@chylvina any news?

Closing as we support touch, quit, prepend... just not multi-get and others, but we have that documented elsewhere.
