There also is the opposite problem to be considered, as Emmanuel
suggested on 11/04/2012:
you can't forbid the user to store the same object (same type and same
id) in two different caches, where each Cache might be using different
indexing options.
If the "search service" is a global concept, and you run a query which
matches object X, we'll return it to the user but he won't be able to
figure out from which cache it's being sourced: is that ok?
Ultimately this implies a query might return the same object X in
multiple positions in the result list of the query; for example it
might be the top result according to some criteria but also be the 5th
result because of how it was indexed in a different case: maybe
someone will find good use for this "capability" but I see it
primarily as a source of confusion.
Finally, if we move the search service as a global component, there
might be an impact in how we explain security: an ACL filter applied
on one cache - or the index metadata produced by that cache - might
not be applied in the same way by an entity being matched through a
second cache.
Not least a user's permission to access one cache (or not) will affect
his results in a rather complex way.
I'm wondering if we need to prevent such situations.

Agreed. I actually don't see how we can enforce people that declare
Cache<Object,Object> not put whatever they want in it. Also makes total sense for
smaller caches as it is easy to set up etc.
The debate in this email, the way I understood it, was: are/should people using multiple
caches for storing data? If yes we should consider querying functionality spreading over
multiple caches.

relation between (OGM, ISPN) <=> (Hibernate, JDBC). Indeed OGM would be a better
abstraction and should be recommended as such for the Java clients, but ultimately
we're a general purpose storage engine that is available to different platforms as
well.
