These web services are used in a cluster environment, where Yellowfin is set up amongst multiple nodes connected to a local database. Most of these are used to transmit messages between the cluster nodes, and to clear the cache of a specific node, when data is updated or deleted locally, ensuring consistency in content throughout the cluster. Each of these services remove a specific type of content/data.
