Roadmap "Layered caching (multi-level caching)"

[fkromer]

When are you planning to add support for layered caching? Has there already been put effort into? I'd be interested in "guided" contribution 😏

I didn't have any immediate plans to add this feature and no effort as been put into it yet.

If you're interested in adding it, then we can discuss the design details.

I'm using a CacheManager instance with an application specific workaround by simply passing nested dicts as values via set() like e.g. cache_manager["SomeSubCache"].set("first_level_key_a", {"a_0": ..., "a_1": ...}); cache_manager["SomeSubCache"].set("first_level_key_b", {"b_0": ..., "b_1": ...}). I get the data in a similar way. It's not convenient to work with but works for me as is. I've wrappers for setting/getting typing.NamedTuple datatypes into/from the cache. The code will be of little value for a generic solution.
