The \emph{file caching} problem is defined as follows. Given a cache of size $k$ (a positive integer), the goal is to minimize the total retrieval cost for the given sequence of requests to files. A file $f$ has size $size(f)$ (a positive…

Many recent caching systems aim to improve miss ratios, but there is no good sense among practitioners of how much further miss ratios can be improved. In other words, should the systems community continue working on this problem?…
