 -   `ignoreNotStored` - **_optional_** If set to true, then will not treat `NOT_STORED` reply from any store commands as error.  Use this for [Mcrouter AllAsyncRoute] mode.
 -   `lifetime` - **_optional_** Your cache TTL in **_seconds_** to use for all entries.  DEFAULT: 60 seconds.
+-   `noDelay` - **_optional_** Whether to enable `TCP_NODELAY` on connections to decrease latency. DEFAULT: false
 -   `cmdTimeout` - **_optional_** Command timeout in milliseconds.  DEFAULT: 5000 ms.
     -   If a command didn't receive response before this timeout value, then it will cause the connection to shutdown and returns Error.
