I realize there are custom ways of doing clustering where my question is easy to answer, but I'd like to leverage the built-in support as much as possible, so this question is specifically related to using the cluste...
I have a JavaScript resource that has the possibility of being edited at any time. Once it is edited I would want it to be propagated to the user's browser relatively quickly (like maybe 15 minutes or so), however, the frequency of this resource being editing is few and far between (maybe 2 a month). I'd rather the resource to be cached...
