text "
The --measure_* options aid in taking latency measurements of the
memcached server without incurring significant client-side queuing
delay. --measure_connections allows the master to override the
--connections option. --measure_depth allows the master to operate as
an \"open-loop\" client while other agents continue as a regular
closed-loop clients. --measure_qps lets you modulate the QPS the
master queries at independent of other clients. This theoretically
normalizes the baseline queuing delay you expect to see across a wide
range of --qps values.

Some options take a 'distribution' as an argument.
Distributions are specified by <distribution>[:<param1>[,...]].
Parameters are not required. The following distributions are supported:
[fixed:]<value> Always generates <value>.
uniform:<max> Uniform distribution between 0 and <max>.
normal:<mean>,<sd> Normal distribution.
exponential:<lambda> Exponential distribution.
pareto:<loc>,<scale>,<shape> Generalized Pareto distribution.
gev:<loc>,<scale>,<shape> Generalized Extreme Value distribution.
To recreate the Facebook \"ETC\" request stream from [1], the
following hard-coded distributions are also provided:
fb_value = a hard-coded discrete and GPareto PDF of value sizes
fb_key = \"gev:30.7984,8.20449,0.078688\", key-size distribution
fb_ia = \"pareto:0.0,16.0292,0.154971\", inter-arrival time dist.
