> Add ability to remove distributed map cache entries according to a regular

>
> The DistributedMapCacheClient interface has the ability to remove an
> individual entry based on a specified key. For large numbers of key/value
> pairs, this becomes unwieldy as a processor using this would have to keep
> track of all the keys it has stored, thereby lessening the effectiveness of
> the cache.
> Alternatively, I propose a method be added that will remove keys based on a
> regular expression (regex) pattern; this way a processor could prefix a value
> to each key (such as the UUID of the processor itself), and remove all such
> keys when it deems prudent. The method could be as simple as:
> void remove(String pattern)
> or perhaps it could return boolean (true if any key was deleted, false
> otherwise) or an int (the number of deleted keys)
> Note that in order to match the pattern, the key Serializer used must
> generate keys that the regex can match.
