I am not sure how Bela envisioned that cacheloader can be refactored to 
interceptor but I suppose it is possible. 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 :)
