/**
 * Multi-datacenter aware caching interface
 *
 * All operations go to the local cache, except the delete()
 * and touchCheckKey(), which broadcast to all clusters.
 * This class is intended for caching data from primary stores.
 * If the get() method does not return a value, then the caller
 * should query the new value and backfill the cache using set().
 * When the source data changes, the delete() method should be called.
 * Since delete() is expensive, it should be avoided. One can do so if:
 *   - a) The object cached is immutable; or
 *   - b) Validity is checked against the source after get(); or
 *   - c) Using a modest TTL is reasonably correct and performant
 * Consider using getWithSetCallback() instead of the get()/set() cycle.
 *
 * Instances of this class must be configured to point to a valid
 * PubSub endpoint, and there must be listeners on the cache servers
 * that subscribe to the endpoint and update the caches.
 *
 * Broadcasted operations like delete() and touchCheckKey() are done
 * synchronously in the local cluster, but are relayed asynchronously.
 * This means that callers in other datacenters will see older values
 * for a however many milliseconds the datacenters are apart. As with
 * any cache, this should not be relied on for cases where reads are
 * used to determine writes to source (e.g. non-cache) data stores.
 *
 * All values are wrapped in metadata arrays. Keys use a "WANCache:" prefix
 * to avoid collisions with keys that are not wrapped as metadata arrays. The
 * prefixes are as follows:
 *   - a) "WANCache:v" : used for regular value keys
 *   - b) "WANCache:s" : used for temporarily storing values of tombstoned keys
 *   - c) "WANCache:t" : used for storing timestamp "check" keys

	 * Method to fetch/regenerate cache keys
	 *
	 * On cache miss, the key will be set to the callback result.
	 * The callback function returns the new value given the current
	 * value (false if not present). If false is returned, then nothing
	 * will be saved to cache.
	 *
	 * Most callers should ignore the current value, but it can be used
	 * to maintain "most recent X" values that come from time or sequence
	 * based source data, provided that the "as of" id/time is tracked.
	 *
	 * Usage of $checkKeys is the same as with get().
	 *
	 * The simplest way to avoid stampedes for hot keys is to use
	 * the 'lockTSE' option in $opts. If cache purges are needed, also:
	 *   a) Pass $key into $checkKeys
	 *   b) Use touchCheckKey( $key ) instead of delete( $key )
	 * Following this pattern lets the old cache be used until a
	 * single thread updates it as needed. Also consider tweaking
	 * the 'lowTTL' parameter.
	 *
	 * Example usage:
	 * <code>
	 *     $key = wfMemcKey( 'cat-recent-actions', $catId );
	 *     // Function that derives the new key value given the old value
	 *     $callback = function( $cValue ) { ... };

	 *     // try to only let one cluster thread manage doing cache updates

	 *     $value = $cache->getWithSetCallback( $key, $callback, 60, array(), $opts );
	 * </code>
	 *
	 * Example usage:
	 * <code>
	 *     $key = wfMemcKey( 'cat-state', $catId );
	 *     // The "check" keys that represent things the value depends on;
	 *     // Calling touchCheckKey() on them invalidates "cat-state"
	 *     $checkKeys = array(
	 *         wfMemcKey( 'water-bowls', $houseId ),
	 *         wfMemcKey( 'food-bowls', $houseId ),
	 *         wfMemcKey( 'people-present', $houseId )
	 *     );
	 *     // Function that derives the new key value

	 *     // Get the key value from cache or from source on cache miss;
	 *     // try to only let one cluster thread manage doing cache updates
