// the fetch.

// On timeout, FetchResult can behave one of two ways. First, it can
// return the last known value. This is the default behavior of blocking
// RPC calls in Consul so this allows cache types to be implemented with
// no extra logic. Second, FetchResult can return an unset value and index.
// In this case, the cache will reuse the last value automatically.
