When a memcached key does not refer to the "STA" or "DYN" fork of a system element, the format of its name is free and can be arbitrary defined, provided that it is not already used.
Even though the name format is arbitrary, it is a good practice to adopt conventional extensions (e.g. MYNEWVAL_DAT).
To avoid proliferation of extensions, try using the ones listed in the table below:

BUF _ associated to a system element strongly advisable used besides
ExtensionDescription
_Data buffers (FIFOs , circular buffers, etc...)AUXAuxiliary dataset associated to a system element (besides _STA and _DYN) .
When using the "_AUX" extension, it is
mandatory that the name preceeding the extension be equal to the element name preceeding the _STA and _DYN extensions.
_BUF Data buffers (FIFOs , circular buffers, etc...), not necessarily associated with a system element.
_INFOStatic metadata, not necessarily associated with a system element.
_DATGeneric data structures, not necessarily associated with a system element.
