In order to create a namespace you'll need to modify the aerospike.conf file since namespaces cannot be created dynamically. By default the "test" namespace is included in the aerospike.conf file (located in /etc/aerospike/aerospike.conf ).

You can read more about Aerospike configuration and Namespace configuration .

Sets can be "created" dynamically (it is a logical hierarchy) so you don't have to "create" sets you can just specify the set you want to write/update/delete/read from in the operation.

If you are new to Aerospike I suggest to use the Interactive Tutorials (currently available for Java , Python and Spark ) or the Client Libraries documentation to see some code examples.
