Setting the cache is where my pain point lies. I see zero log messages indicating a memcache failed write on the python side. I can't think of a case where you WOULDN'T want to know memcache failed to overwrite stale data. Since the next update is going to read the stale data from memcache and write it to the datastore!
> In Javaland there is an error handler you can set on MemcacheService @Jeff, this is the exact type of solution I'm after for Python. I'm thinking proxy hooks with backed off retries. Will post soon.
