Cache File Data Source

Adding a Cache File Data Source

The file-cache data source is used for storing resource data that are cached using the Automatic storage mode. For additional information, Refer the User Guide, Chapter TDV Caching. The file-cache data source uses a directory for each table in it, and a file in that directory for storing the data. The data files are binary encoded.
