This SQL hint should not be used in general.
It is needed by PECL/mysqlnd_ms
to group cache entries for one statement
but originating from different physical connections. If the
hint is used connection settings such as user, hostname and charset
are not considered for generating a cache key of a query.
Instead the given value and the query string are used as input
to the hashing function that generates the key.
PECL/mysqlnd_ms may, if instructed, cache results from
MySQL Replication slaves. Because it can hold many connections
to the slave the cache key shall not be formed from the user,
hostname or other settings that may vary for the various slave
connections. Instead, PECL/mysqlnd_ms provides an identifier
which refers to the group of slave connections that shall be enabled
to share cache entries no matter which physical slave connection was
to generate the cache entry.
Use of this feature outside of PECL/mysqlnd_ms is not recommended.
