What does the model cache store in an Avaloq Core instance?

The model cache in an Avaloq Core instance is designed to store precomputed metadata about sources. This cache plays a crucial role in enhancing performance by storing data that can be reused, thus avoiding the need to repeatedly compute this information during runtime. By holding onto precomputed metadata, the model cache reduces the overall response time for queries and other operations that need to access this type of information.

In the context of the other options, while recent changes to the source code, temporary compilation files, and user modification history are important aspects of the development and execution process in an Avaloq environment, they are not the primary function of the model cache. The model cache specifically focuses on efficiently managing and providing access to metadata that is essential for the operation of the Avaloq platform. Thus, precomputed metadata is retained in the model cache to ensure that the system operates smoothly and efficiently.
