If you absolutely wanted to use an existing implementation, your second 
approach looks viable to me.  But then again, and as you pointed out, 
you'd be returning an entire map for every single piece of data.

You're free to write your own cache loader from scratch, or even extend 
one of the existing ones.  One solution might be to try and implement 
your second suggestion as the underlying details to your custom loader 
solution.  In this manner, you might be able to hide the complexity 
behind the CacheLoader API but still achieve what you're looking to do 
via some under-the-cover fqn munging.
