NAME
       nutcracker - Fast, light-weight proxy for memcached and Redis

SYNOPSIS
       nutcracker [options]

DESCRIPTION
       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.
