Getting or Taking a Single Tuple from the Space

Retrieving or taking a single tuple from a space is done using the space’s get or take methods.

These methods take a tuple as an argument, which must contain fields of the same name and type as the fields marked as key in the space’s space definition. If there is a tuple in the space containing a tuple whose key field values match exactly the values in the tuple passed as argument stored in the space, these methods return a copy of that tuple inside a Result object. (In the case of the take method, it also atomically removes that tuple from the space.)
