Using Memcached CAS to Prevent Lost Updates in Read-Modify-Write Workloads
Memcached’s CAS token lets clients detect concurrent changes and safely retry read‑modify‑write updates without server‑side locking.

Atom swap! retry limits under high contention
State Management with Atoms Clojure Atoms utilize a Compare-And-Swap (CAS) mechanism to ensure thread-safe state transitions. The swap! function applies a transformation function to the current state and retries the operation if the state is modified by another thread before the commit completes. Performance Constraints While this lock-free approach prevents
clojureMemcached Idempotent Write Operation for Safe Retries
The goal is to guarantee that a client’s retry of a memcached SET (or ADD/REPLACE) does not result in duplicate writes when the initial request was processed but the response was lost. Memcached treats each write as an independent operation; the Compare‑And‑Swap (CAS) token can prevent overwriting a newer value but does not stop a retry from issuing another
