[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBossCache] - Re: JBCACHE-890 - idea for consolidating meta-data on a node

On an implementation level, this makes sense.  But on an interface level, I prefer individual getters/setters.  I see your point mentioned on a different thread:

What will inevitably happen is you'll want to add more methods to NodeSPI. The idea is to add some potential for future expansion.
