  /**
   * Stores data in the persistent cache.
   *
   * Core cache implementations set the created time on cache item with
   * microtime(TRUE) rather than REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT, because the created time
   * of cache items should match when they are created, not when the request
   * started. Apart from being more accurate, this increases the chance an
   * item will legitimately be considered valid.
   *
   * @param string $cid
   *   The cache ID of the data to store.
   * @param mixed $data
   *   The data to store in the cache.
   *   Some storage engines only allow objects up to a maximum of 1MB in size to
   *   be stored by default. When caching large arrays or similar, take care to
   *   ensure $data does not exceed this size.
   * @param int $expire
   *   One of the following values:
   *   - CacheBackendInterface::CACHE_PERMANENT: Indicates that the item should
   *     not be removed unless it is deleted explicitly.
   *   - A Unix timestamp: Indicates that the item will be considered invalid
   *     after this time, i.e. it will not be returned by get() unless
   *     $allow_invalid has been set to TRUE. When the item has expired, it may
   *     be permanently deleted by the garbage collector at any time.
   * @param array $tags
   *   An array of tags to be stored with the cache item. These should normally
   *   identify objects used to build the cache item, which should trigger
   *   cache invalidation when updated. For example if a cached item represents
   *   a node, both the node ID and the author's user ID might be passed in as
   *   tags. For example ['node:123', 'node:456', 'user:789'].
