SPI caching, was: [jira] Resolved: (JCR-1361) Lock test assumes that changes in one session are immediately visible in different session

[Julian Reschke]

Hi,

this issue made me think that we may be missing something in the SPI...
So, is an SPI implementation allowed to internally cache things (for 
instance, with the SessionInfo implementation)? I would assume so (but 
maybe I'm wrong).

If it is allowed to do that, shouldn't a Session.refresh() call be 
reflected in some SPI call, so that the SPI implementation can 
invalidate caches as well?

BR, Julian
