"""Classes to manage cached values.

Monorail makes full use of the RAM of GAE frontends to reduce latency
and load on the database.

Even though these caches do invalidation, there are rare race conditions
that can cause a somewhat stale object to be retrieved from memcache and
then put into a RAM cache and used by a given GAE instance for some time.
So, we only use these caches for operations that can tolerate somewhat
stale data.  For example, displaying issues in a list or displaying brief
info about related issues.  We never use the cache to load objects as
part of a read-modify-save sequence because that could cause stored data
to revert to a previous state.
