Change cache interface to handle DHT operations #154

Closed Ianleeclark closed 7 years ago

Ianleeclark commented 7 years ago

The way it's currently handled doesn't make any sense: callers to the cache don't need to be aware of the inner-workings--i.e., the DHT. They should simply call cache.Get() and have the inner-workings handled by the cache. This is probably hard to do due to shitty engineering when creating this project.

Steps required to get this going:

[x] Make Cache.Cache private.
[ ] Define an interface for peer communications (to be used in the future for paxos consensus)
[ ] Pull peer management out of global ctx object and put into cache's control
