Consider the following scenario where I have an object:

and I am storing these in memcached, such as:
Node n;
put( n.id, n);
when I get(int) a node, can I trace the reference next, without
requiring a map lookup?
memcached is just a hash table. For example:
Map<Integer, Node> m=new HashMap<Integer, Node>();
m.put(n.id, n);
Can you get n.next in that example without doing another map lookup?
Furthermore, it doesn't attempt to understand the data you're giving
it. The value is a blob and memcached can not and should not
understand what it actually means.
