+ A Node should be viewed as a named logical grouping of data. A node should be
used to contain data for a
+ single data record, for example information about a particular person or
account. It should be kept in
+ mind that all aspects of the cache - locking, cache loading, replication and
eviction - happen on a per-node
+ basis. As such, anything grouped together by being stored in a single node
will be treated as a single
+ atomic unit.
