JavaSDK CouchbaseClient.incr throws 'Non-numeric server-side value for inc or decr' error

I’m using getting an error ‘Non-numeric server-side value for inc or decr’ while incr a counter using Java SDK 1.4.2. Here’s the test code:

  couchbaseClient.set("counterTest", 100);
  couchbaseClient.incr("counterTest", 1, 0);

call stack:
Thread [Memcached IO over {MemcachedConnection to localhost/127.0.0.1:11210}] (Suspended (breakpoint at line 1761 in MemcachedClient$11))

CouchbaseConnection(MemcachedConnection).handleIO(SelectionKey) line: 682
CouchbaseConnection(MemcachedConnection).handleIO() line: 436
CouchbaseConnection.run() line: 321

What’s wrong with the code? Is it an encoding issue?

Thanks,

Using IntegerTranscoder gives the same result:

couchbaseClient.set(“counterTest”, 0, 100, new IntegerTranscoder());
couchbaseClient.incr(“counterTest”, 1, 0);

Can anyone help?

Hi,

I could not reproduce this. I advise you to initialize your counter using the incr method instead of the set method.

I would probably do this instead:

couchbaseClient.incr(“counterTest”, 0, 100);
couchbaseClient.incr(“counterTest”, 1);

Is there a reason why you want to use set?
Also can you tell me which version of Couchbase and what kind of bucket you are using?

Cheers,
Laurent
