lpgauth/anchor

This system is an Erlang-based Memcached client library named Anchor, designed to provide high-performance synchronous and asynchronous access to Memcached servers. It implements the full Memcached protocol, including standard operations like get, set, and delete, while leveraging the Shackle library for connection management and supervision. The project includes comprehensive telemetry instrumentation for request-level metrics and is supported by a modernized build infrastructure and extensive test coverage.

This change introduces the Anchor library, a high-performance Erlang client for Memcached. It provides a full set of synchronous and asynchronous API functions for standard Memcached operations including get, set, add, replace, delete, increment, decrement, flush, noop, quit, and version. The client is built on the Shackle library for connection management and includes a supervision tree for starting the application and managing the connection pool.

The new \include/anchor.hrl\ header defines the core data structures and constants for the Anchor Memcached client. It establishes the request and response record schemas, maps Memcached opcodes (such as GET, SET, ADD, REPLACE, DELETE, INCREMENT, DECREMENT, FLUSH, NOOP, QUIT, and VERSION) and status codes to Erlang terms, and exports type definitions for errors, options, and responses. This header serves as the foundational interface for the client's protocol handling.

Added a new test suite (test/anchor\_tests.erl) that validates the anchor module's functionality, including synchronous and asynchronous operations (add, set, get, delete, replace, increment, decrement, flush, noop, version) and verifies that telemetry events are correctly emitted for request sent metrics.

The project has migrated its build system from rebar2/Travis to rebar3/GitHub Actions, removing legacy tooling like edown, elvis, and fprofx. The core dependency shackle has been upgraded to version 0.7.3, which pulls in foil 0.1.6 and knot 0.1.2 transitively. Additionally, telemetry 1.4.2 is now a direct dependency to support request-level instrumentation.
