But I will turn around the questions :) What caching do you need?
The ultra complex caching we currently have which can cache
partial pipelines? Or just the result of a pipeline?
I believe this is a very important question.
Not really. Partial pipeline caching is implemented completely by
the pipeline using all already existing APIs which were used by
regular caching. From the perspective of pipeline class users, or
from the perspective of classes which pipeline uses, there is no
difference between using 'partial-response-caching' and 'complete-
response-caching' pipelines. The distinction is only in private
implementation details.
I completely agree.
But aren't we the ones talking about those "private implementation
details"...
And on the other hand: If partial vs. complete caching makes no
difference for the user/caller, why bother maintaining both?
It means no difference in the code, but for the user it has a real
benefit - user does not have to be an expert in cocoon caching,
partial response caching will give him better performance without him
expending an effort into optimizing his sitemap.
