Pipelined operations don't wait for the preceding operation to complete before they start. So this will be multiple gets being issued simultaneously.

This is often used to reduce latency but only works with operations that don't depend on the preceding operation.

It's great if you want to run something like "Here's a bunch of SET operations. Do them and get back to me when they're all finished."
