I believe Stephen is trying to say that if you use cache module to save values between two tasks executed by two serialized thredas, this is kind of unusual "usage".
I always thought that shared memory usage is usual as long as i am using public API. Limiting API in functionality will lead to workarounds.
Can you image file access API with only open,close,read,write without stat call? I can open file, read it and find out the size of course but does is look right?
So, i am being told all the time that i do not use the ns_cache in right way, then somebody can define what is the correct and the only right way of using ns_cache facility in the server environment? I could be lost or un-educated enough but i would like to know?
