// Package groupcache provides a data loading mechanism with caching
// and de-duplication that works across a set of peer processes.
//
// Each data Get first consults its local cache, otherwise delegates
// to the requested key's canonical owner, which then checks its cache
// or finally gets the data.  In the common case, many concurrent
// cache misses across a set of peers for the same key result in just
// one cache fill.
