If we assume the basic types are interned we could use the first byte as
the type with the remaining bytes as the value. Then on get() we could
read the first byte to determine the type and then construct the correct
object for it. This would prevent the ClassCastException I talked about
above.

You can also use the memcached per-item flags to specially store a few
sorts of types: n bits allows for 2^n different representations. Byte,
int, and string ought to be enough for most uses.

Yeah... honestly I saw that and it looked interesting. Whats the size
of the flag? How many bits? <br>
<br>
I really only have 10 types I have to represent and right now the
java-memcached driver only needs to represent 11 flags (one being gzip
compression).<br>
