The Light of Our Yesterdays

About the Author Ken Hansen is now a writer, pilot, biker, woodworker and occasional scuba diver but never again attorney. Though he majored in political science at the University of Wisconsin and graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law, his early political naiveté took him to a lobbying law firm in Washington, DC, where he discovered a few too many ugly truths. Turning his ambitions toward more productive endeavors, he ultimately served as VP & General Counsel of Epic Systems Corporation, a health care software company that grew much larger than he ever thought possible. He retired in 2013 to once again explore that seemingly simple question posed so many years ago in a philosophy class: Why? Luckily, his incredibly patient wife of thirty years, who helped him raise three great kids, keeps asking him, Why not?

Doc fetch goes through Layer's Aerospike pull-through cache; cache hit served the row without touching turbopuffer. The similar query asks Layer for nearest neighbors of the stored product vector — queries don't go through the doc cache, so no cache header is set.
