Abstract
A computer-implemented method, a system and a computer-readable medium provide for improved caching. A request key for information is received from a requestor and used to retrieve corresponding metadata from a metadata cache. The metadata is analyzed to determine if information related to the request key should be looked up in a primary cache. If so, the information is retrieved from the primary cache. If the metadata indicates against looking up the information in the primary cache, or if the information was not found in the primary cache, the information is loaded, the metadata is updated, and the information is added to the primary cache if analysis of the updated metadata indicates that adding the information is appropriate.
