Golang Memcache Proxy Library

Why this library?

This library helps to utilize memcached in a consistent and efficient way.

Supporting features:

• Deal with Consistency between Memcached and Database using the Lease Mechanism.
• Prevent thundering herd (a.k.a Cache Stampede).
• Efficient batching get to the underlining database, batching between lease gets and between retries for preventing thundering-herd.
• Memcached replication similar to MCRouter, without the need for external proxies.
• Memory-weighted load-balancing for replication.
