#### Handle Setting Changes
-Any time the user changes a setting in AWX (_e.g._, in `api/v2/settings`), data will be added to or altered in a database. Since querying databases directly can be extremely time-consuming, each node in a cluster runs a local `memcached` server, none of which are aware of each other. They all potentially have different values contained within, but ultimately need to be consistent. So how can this be accomplished?

-"Handle Setting Changes" provides the solution! This "fanout" task (_i.e._, all nodes execute it) makes it so that there is a single source of truth even within a clustered system. Whenever a database setting is accessed, and that setting's name is not present in `memcached`, it grabs the setting from the database and then populates it in the applicable node's cache. When any database setting gets altered, all of the `memcached` servers on each node needs to "forget" the value that they previously retained. By deleting the setting in `memcached` on all nodes with the use of this task, we assure that the next time it is accessed, the database will be consulted for the most up-to-date value.
