So is it an incomplete implementation just sent for review or i am
missing something(s) ?
The implementation is complete. The interface to the cache operates
synchronously. If an item is found in the cache, it is returned. If no item is
found, an error is returned. The caller can query the SA directly in this case.
(If we wanted to be fancy, the results of that query could be copied into
the cache, but the cache will update on its own.)
I originally implemented an asynchronous API, but it complicated the
implementation and was inefficient in the most common case, where an item is
found in the cache.
