GetsetCommand

GETSET \_key\_ \_value\_
========================
*Time complexity: O(1)*
GETSET is an atomic *set this value and return the old value*
command.Set *key* to the string *value* and return the old value
stored at *key*.The string can't be longer than 1073741824 bytes (1
GB).

Design patterns
---------------
GETSET can be used together with INCR for counting with atomic
reset whena given condition arises. For example a process may call
INCR against thekey *mycounter* every time some event occurred, but
from time totime we need to get the value of the counter and reset
it to zero atomicallyusing ``GETSET mycounter 0``.
