Abstract

Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems receive from a client a request to access data from a client. Whether metadata for the data is stored in a first caching layer is determined. In response to the metadata for the data not being stored in the first caching layer, it is determined if the data is stored in the second caching layer. In response to determining that the data is stored in the second caching layer, the data is retrieved from the second caching layer. In response to determining that the data is not stored in the second caching layer, writing of the data to the second caching layer is bypassed. The retrieved data is sent to the client.
