exists() public method
Checks whether a specified key exists in the cache.
This can be faster than getting the value from the cache if the data is big. In case a cache does not support this feature natively, this method will try to simulate it but has no performance improvement over getting it. Note that this method does not check whether the dependency associated with the cached data, if there is any, has changed. So a call to get() may return false while exists returns true.
