+/* The tracking table is constituted by 2^24 radix trees (each tree, and the
+ * table itself, are allocated in a lazy way only when needed) tracking
+ * clients that may have certain keys in their local, client side, cache.
+ *
+ * Keys are grouped into 2^24 slots, in a way similar to Redis Cluster hash
+ * slots, however here the function we use is crc64, taking the least
+ * significant 24 bits of the output.
+ *
+ * When a client enables tracking with "CLIENT TRACKING on", each key served to
+ * the client is hashed to one of such slots, and Redis will remember what
+ * client may have keys about such slot. Later, when a key in a given slot is
+ * modified, all the clients that may have local copies of keys in that slot
+ * will receive an invalidation message. There is no distinction of database
+ * number: a single table is used.
+ *
+ * Clients will normally take frequently requested objects in memory, removing
+ * them when invalidation messages are received. A strategy clients may use is
+ * to just cache objects in a dictionary, associating to each cached object
+ * some incremental epoch, or just a timestamp. When invalidation messages are
+ * received clients may store, in a different table, the timestamp (or epoch)
+ * of the invalidation of such given slot: later when accessing objects, the
+ * eviction of stale objects may be performed in a lazy way by checking if the
+ * cached object timestamp is older than the invalidation timestamp for such
+ * objects.
+ *
+ * The output of the 24 bit hash function is very large (more than 16 million
+ * possible slots), so clients that may want to use less resources may only
+ * use the most significant bits instead of the full 24 bits. */
