Wondering how I can find out what version of memcached is couchbase 1.8 based on.

Reason being is that after using spymemcached as the client, we are looking at utilizing xmemcached instead. xmemcache supports binary transfers, but is only compatible with memcached 1.4+ releases http://memcached.org/

http://code.google.com/p/xmemcached/wiki/Getting_Started#Use_binary_prot...

Thanks
Wes

Couchbase uses it's own fork of memcached and it is fully compatible with the memcached protocol. You are free to use any memcached client that you want and you shouldn't have any problems. On another note, Spymemcached also supports the binary protocol.

MemcachedClient client = new MemcachedClient(new BinaryConnectionFactory(), Arrays.asList(new InetSocketAddress("localhost", 11211)));
