What we talked about was having generic cacheloader storeState Method in AbstractCacheLoader. StoreState can be generic since we simply read NodeData objects from stream and call put on underlying cacheloader. I suppose we can also make generic loadState that only relies on cacheloader's get method and a recursive call. That would be cool. But yes cacheloaders are getting simpler and easier to implement :)
