Yes.
To represent some version information, Kai will support 'cas' of memcache API.
With 'cas', a kind of version can be put in the request and response.
This realizes optimistic lock.

Good point.
In the current implementation, parameters like R and W are configured
per node basis.
However, these parameters must be shared in the whole system.
It's better to exchange the parameters before joining the system.
