/*
    Cache-Aware Load Balancing Router

    This router combines two strategies to optimize both cache utilization and request distribution:

    1. Cache-Aware Routing (Approximate Tree)
    2. Load Balancing (Shortest Queue with Balance Thresholds)

    The router dynamically switches between these strategies based on load conditions:
    - Uses load balancing when the system is imbalanced
    - Uses cache-aware routing when the system is balanced

    A system is considered imbalanced if both conditions are met:
    1. (max - min) > abs_threshold
    2. max > rel_threshold * min

    Strategy Details:

    1. Cache-Aware Routing (Approximate Tree)
    -------------------------------------------
    This strategy maintains an approximate radix tree for each worker based on request history,
    eliminating the need for direct cache state queries. The tree stores raw text characters
    instead of token IDs to avoid tokenization overhead.

    Process:
    a. For each request, find the worker with the highest prefix match
    b. If match rate > cache_threshold:
    Route to the worker with highest match (likely has relevant data cached)
    c. If match rate ≤ cache_threshold:
    Route to the worker with smallest tree size (most available cache capacity)
    d. Background maintenance:
    Periodically evict least recently used leaf nodes to prevent memory overflow

    2. Load Balancing (Shortest Queue)
    -------------------------------------------
    This strategy tracks pending request counts per worker and routes new requests
    to the least busy worker when the system is detected to be imbalanced.

    Configuration Parameters:
    ------------------------
    1. cache_threshold: (float, 0.0 to 1.0)
    Minimum prefix match ratio to use highest-match routing.
    Below this threshold, routes to worker with most available cache space.

    2. balance_abs_threshold: (integer)
    Absolute difference threshold for load imbalance detection.
    System is potentially imbalanced if (max_load - min_load) > abs_threshold

    3. balance_rel_threshold: (float)
    Relative ratio threshold for load imbalance detection.
    System is potentially imbalanced if max_load > min_load * rel_threshold
    Used in conjunction with abs_threshold to determine final imbalance state.

    4. eviction_interval_secs: (integer)
    Interval between LRU eviction cycles for the approximate trees.

    5. max_tree_size: (integer)
    Maximum nodes per tree. When exceeded, LRU leaf nodes are evicted
    during the next eviction cycle.
