Spymemcache Hashing Algoritham

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Platform: spymemcached-2.7.3.jar, 64 bit Windows 7 OS

We have two membase servers (Non Clustered Environment) and we are using 
spymemcached java client for setting and getting data from memcache. We are not 
using any replication between two membase servers.

We are using following code to set data in memcache. Looks like MemcachedClient 
always first try to put/get data in server1 if its available. If server1 is 
down, then MemcachedClient put/get from server2.
Does spymemcached uses any hashing algoritham to decide from which server it 
needs to set/get data? Any documentation available which explains how it works?

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import net.spy.memcached.MemcachedClient;

public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args)
    throws IOException, URISyntaxException {

    MemcachedClient client;

    URI server1 = new URI("http://192.168.100.111:8091/pools");
    URI server2 = new URI("http://127.0.0.1:8091/pools");
    ArrayList<URI> serverList = new ArrayList<URI>();
    serverList.add(server1);
    serverList.add(server2);
    client = new MemcachedClient(serverList, "default", "");

    client.set("spoon", 50, "Hello World!");
    client.shutdown(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    System.exit(0);
  }
}
