Custom lazy load fetching strategy

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I will talk about an idea.

For instance, I want to lazy load something such as

    @Entity class User {
        @Reference(lazy=true) private List<User> friends;
    [...]
    }

However maybe I don't want to fetch friends from database. Because I already 
fetched them and cached them in a key e.g. "user_ef5a2a349_friends". I want to 
load it from there, however if I just request "friends" once, proxy will 
intercept the request and fetch maybe thousands of User objects from listed in 
"friends" from database.

This is so bad for me. Does anyone have an idea on how can I implement a custom 
lazy fetching strategy in Morphia? Thanks.

Don't use @Reference, do it yourself.
