New Tool Proposal: ac-purge #3

Description

@jeffgeorge

Acquia has great Drush tools for purging Varnish caches, but just like the issues described in #2, the user experience is crappy enough that if I need to purge Varnish I just go use the UI.

In this case, the issue is just one hoop:

  1. drush @site.env ac-domain-list to get the list of domains for an environment
  2. drush @site.env ac-domain-purge to flush Varnish for that domain
  3. And then you have to iterate over the list doing purge

I'd propose doing a couple things with ac-purge:

  1. ac-purge @site.env drupal to cc all
  2. ac-purge @site.env memcache to determine if memcache is enabled and version 1.6 or above (via drush pmi) and then run drush @site.env mcf to flush memcache
  3. ac-purge @site.env varnish to do the above Varnish stuff, iterate over all domains, purge Varnish for each
  4. ac-purge @site.env cf to determine if Cloudflare is enabled, and via the CF API purge Cloudflare
  5. ac-purge @site.env fire-bazooka to do all steps in order 1-4

For safety purposes, we may also want to check for safety variables ac-purge, ac-purge-varnish, ac-purge-memcache, etc, so sites can 'guard' against ac-purge altogether or just against specific steps of ac-purge. I could see this being needed on high-traffic sites where doing a full comprehensive cache purge tanks performance immediately.
