// Cache collects pods' information and provides node-level aggregated information.
// It's intended for generic scheduler to do efficient lookup.
// Cache's operations are pod centric. It does incremental updates based on pod events.
// Pod events are sent via network. We don't have guaranteed delivery of all events:
// We use Reflector to list and watch from remote.
// Reflector might be slow and do a relist, which would lead to missing events.
//
// State Machine of a pod's events in scheduler's cache:

//                          Expire

//
// Note that an assumed pod can expire, because if we haven't received Add event notifying us
// for a while, there might be some problems and we shouldn't keep the pod in cache anymore.
//
// Note that "Initial", "Expired", and "Deleted" pods do not actually exist in cache.
// Based on existing use cases, we are making the following assumptions:
// - No pod would be assumed twice
// - A pod could be added without going through scheduler. In this case, we will see Add but not Assume event.
// - If a pod wasn't added, it wouldn't be removed or updated.
// - Both "Expired" and "Deleted" are valid end states. In case of some problems, e.g. network issue,
//   a pod might have changed its state (e.g. added and deleted) without delivering notification to the cache.
