title: JAVA API For AWS Elasticache
body: <p>Yesterday I launched our first AWS Elasticache Redis instance, but haven't been able to use it yet via a JAVA API (Although the HTTP API seems quite straightforward to use)</p>
  
  <p>I've tried first using the libraries available by including the following in the pom.xml file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;dependency&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;com.amazonaws&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;aws-java-sdk&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;version&gt;1.11.86&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I realized I must just need:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;dependency&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;com.amazonaws&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;aws-java-sdk-elasticache&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;version&gt;1.11.86&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But there's also available:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;dependency&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;com.amazonaws&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;elasticache-java-cluster-client&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;version&gt;1.1.1&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I've found the Javadoc at:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaSDK/latest/javadoc/com/amazonaws/services/elasticache/AmazonElastiCacheClient.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaSDK/latest/javadoc/com/amazonaws/services/elasticache/AmazonElastiCacheClient.html</a></p>
  
  <p>But haven't able to really put/get data from the cache, as I haven't found any actual instructions on the libraries, could anyone please point me in the correct direction?</p>
