Go defaults to "0"" so in case we want to return

[jgheewala]

EntryStatus back to the caller "Expired" cannot be differentiated.
Fixing this by default "_" to 0 and incremental RemoveReasons

comment was missing for GetWithInfo api so updated that

test: ran all unit test cases

I quite like this PR and problem it solves, but I agree this is definitely a 3.0 decision since it could break a lot of downstream configurations when they upgrade. This should definitely go in the release notes.

[jgheewala]

@mxplusb this PR can be open until its ready to go in. I kept it here so that I do not forget about this :)

[siennathesane]

Great, thanks!

[flisky]

So, the error ErrEntryIsDead has no more referenced and should be removed ? Will give users a compile error in case they don't notice this breaking change.

[cristaloleg]

@flisky good point, we can remove it. But anyway, this PR is for a next major version, so it will be safe to make a breaking change.

[siennathesane]

@jgheewala when you get a chance, can you rebase? It would be good to keep this updated to prep for the next major version.

[flisky]

May I take over of it, @jgheewala & @mxplusb ?

Besides these changes, I also want to return the expired entry even when resp.EntryStatus = Expired( entry goes []byte when introduced in #168 , and then goes to nil in #191 ). Do you like the idea?

[cristaloleg]

@flisky let's create a separate issue for your idea and discuss it there. This will make discussion much more visible and structured, thanks :)

[jgheewala]

@mxplusb was super busy will rebase my changes soon

[jgheewala]

@mxplusb done with the conflicts.

[siennathesane]

@jgheewala there's a new branch, called versions/v3-prep which has the underlying necessary module changes to support this PR. If you can rebase against that branch, and then edit the PR to point to the versions/v3-prep branch, I can get this merged and we can close it out.
