getset
GETSET
GETSET key value
Atomically sets key to value and returns the old value stored at key. Returns an error when key exists but does not hold a string value.
Design pattern
GETSET can be used together with INCR for counting with atomic reset- For example: a process may call INCR against the key mycounter every time some event occurs, but from time to time we need to get the value of the counter and reset it to zero atomically. This can be done using GETSET mycounter "0":
redis> INCR mycoun
