For example by binding a key in the cache to its owner (the first node to put() the key in the cache). If the owner "disappears", someone else might take ownership of that key.

What do you mean by bind? If you use DIST mode, keys reside in caches that own those keys, and if node goes down, they get rebalanced to get a new owner.
