Key

Key

new Key(ns, set, key, digestopt)

A key uniquely identifies a record in the Aerospike database within a given namespace.

Description:
  • Key Digests

    In your application, you must specify the namespace, set and the key itself to read and write records. When a key is sent to the database, the key value and its set are hashed into a 160-bit digest. When a database operation returns a key (e.g. Query or Scan operations) it might contain either the set and key value, or just the digest.
