request batching support and implementation

[lxjuly]

Hi team,

In the "Scaling Memcache at Facebook" paper, it was mentioned that client side request batching is one of the tactics used to reduce latency. However, I could not find any information regarding how request batching is supported by mcrouter. My only guess is that request batching is supported through memcached's standard gets command. In other words, the client tries to batch multiple get command into one gets command to send over a connection. Is that the way it is implemented? May I get a few pointers regarding this issue?

Best,
