 Description     : Fast, light-weight proxy for memcached and Redis

nutcracker, also known as twemproxy (pronounced "two-em-proxy"), is a
fast and lightweight proxy for the memcached and Redis protocols. It was
primarily built to reduce the connection count on backend caching
servers, but it has a number of features, such as:
 * Maintains persistent server connections to backend servers.
 * Enables pipelining of requests and responses.
 * Supports multiple server pools simultaneously.
 * Shard data automatically across multiple servers.
 * Supports multiple hashing modes including consistent hashing and
   distribution.
 * High-availability by disabling nodes on failures.
 * Observability through stats exposed on stats monitoring port.
