consul/agent/cache/cache.go

// Package cache provides caching features for data from a Consul server.
//
// While this is similar in some ways to the "agent/ae" package, a key
// difference is that with anti-entropy, the agent is the authoritative
// source so it resolves differences the server may have. With caching (this
// package), the server is the authoritative source and we do our best to
// balance performance and correctness, depending on the type of data being
// requested.
//
// The types of data that can be cached is configurable via the Type interface.
// This allows specialized behavior for certain types of data. Each type of
// Consul data (CA roots, leaf certs, intentions, KV, catalog, etc.) will
// have to be manually implemented. This usually is not much work, see
// the "agent/cache-types" package.
