//! Provides an actor which manages a set of LRU caches for string keys and values.
//!
//! To use this facility, [install](fn.install) has to be invoked. The configuration is fetched from
//! the system config and will be automatically re-loaded once the file changes.
//!
//! # Configuration
//! In the system config, an object name **caches** has to be present which specifies the settings
//! for each cache:
//!
//! ```yaml
//! caches:
//!     my_cache:
//!         # Specifies the maximal number of entries to store
//!         size: 1024
//!         # Specifies the maximal amount of memory to use (in bytes).
//!         # Supports common suffixes like: k, m, g, t
//!         max_memory: 1g
//!         # Specifies the soft time to live. After this period, an entry is considered stale
//!         # and will not be delivered by LRU.GET. However, LRU.XGET will deliver this entry
//!         # but mark it as stale. Supports common suffixes like: s, m, h, d
//!         soft_ttl: 15m
//!         # Specifies the hard time to live. After this persiod, neither LRU.GET nor LRU.XGET
//!         # will deliver this entry.
//!         hard_ttl: 1d
//!         # Specifies the refresh interval for LRU.XGET. If this command delivers a stale entry
//!         # (as defined by soft_ttl), it indicates that the entry is stale an should be
//!         # refreshed. However, once this has to be signalled to a client, it will no longer
//!         # request a refresh from other clients until either the entry has been refresehd or
//!         # this refresh interval has elapsed.
//!         refresh_interval: 30s
//! ```
//!
//! # Commands
//!
//! The actor defines the following commands:
//! * **LRU.PUT**: `LRU.PUT cache key value` will store the given value for the given key in the
//!   given cache.
//! * **LRU.GET**: `LRU.GET cache key` will perform a lookup for the given key in the given cache
//!   and return the value being stored or an empty string if no value is present.
//! * **LRU.XGET**: `LRU.XGET cache key` will behave just like **LRU.GET**. However, its output is
//!   a bit more elaborate. It will always respond with three values: ACTIVE, REFRESH, VALUE. If
//!   no value was found for the given key, ACTIVE and REFRESH will be 0 and VALUE will be an empty
//!   string. If a non-stale entry way found, ACTIVE is 0, REFRESH is 0 an VALUE will be the value
//!   associated with the key. Now the interesting part: If a stale entry (older than *soft_ttl* but
//!   younger than *hard_ttl*) was found, ACTIVE will be 0. For the first client to request this
//!   entry, REFRESH will be 1 and the VALUE will be the stale value associated with the key. For
//!   all subsequent invocations of this command, REFRESH will be 0 until either the entry was
//!   updated (by calling **LRU.PUT**) or if the *refresh_interval* has elapsed since the first
//!   invocation. Using this approach one can build "lazy" caches, which refresh on demand, without
//!   slowing the requesting client down (stale content can be delivered quickly, if the application
//!   accepts doing so) and also without overloading the system, as only one client will typically
//!   try to obtain a fresh value instead of all clients at once.
//! * **LRU.REMOVE**: `LRU.REMOVE cache key` will remove the value associated with the given key.
//!   Note that the value will be immediately gone without respecting any TTL.
//! * **LRU.FLUSH**: `LRU.FLUSH cache` will wipe all contents of the given cache.
//! * **LRU.STATE**: `LRU.STATE` will provide an overview of all active cache. `LRU.STATE cache`
//!   will provide detailed metrics about the given cache.
