This class lets you scale your cache cluster by sharding the data across multiple cache servers.
Pass the individual KeyValueStore objects that compose the cache server pool into this constructor how you want the data to be sharded. The cache data will be sharded over them according to the order they were in when they were passed into this constructor (so make sure to always keep the order the same)
The sharding is spread evenly and all cache servers will roughly receive the same amount of cache keys. If some servers are bigger than others, you can offset this by adding the KeyValueStore object more than once.
Data can even be sharded among different adapters: one server in the shard pool can be Redis while another can be Memcached. Not sure why you would even want that, but you could!

Interfaces
- KeyValueStore
- Interface for key-value storage engines.
Methods
- __construct() : mixed
- Overloadable with multiple KeyValueStore objects.
- add() : bool
- Adds an item under new key.
- addCache() : mixed
- cas() : bool
- Replaces an item in 1 atomic operation, to ensure it didn't change since it was originally read, when the CAS token was issued.
- decrement() : int|bool
- Decrements a counter value, or sets an initial value if it does not yet exist.
- delete() : bool
- Deletes an item from the cache.
- deleteMulti() : array<string|int, bool>
- Deletes multiple items at once (reduced network traffic compared to individual operations).
- flush() : bool
- Clears the entire cache (or the everything for the given collection).
- get() : mixed|bool
- Retrieves an item from the cache.
- getCollection() : KeyValueStore
- Returns an isolated subset (collection) in which to store or fetch data from.
- getMulti() : array<string|int, mixed>
- Retrieves multiple items at once.
- increment() : int|bool
- Increments a counter value, or sets an initial value if it does not yet exist.
- replace() : bool
- Replaces an item.
- set() : bool
- Stores a value, regardless of whether or not the key already exists (in which case it will overwrite the existing value for that key).
- setMulti() : array<string|int, bool>
- Store multiple values at once.
- touch() : bool
- Updates an item's expiration time without altering the stored value.
