Description

It would be great if there was a cache() method on a DataSource object within the library API.

This would go through each of the datasets within the data source and invoke Dataset.cache() on it.

This would be desirable in some situations where multiple queries need to be run over the same data source.

Research direction

Start at the DataSource API and review how it exposes its datasets, then consult the linked Spark Dataset.cache() documentation. Done means DataSource provides a cache() method that invokes Dataset.cache() for each dataset so repeated queries can reuse cached data.
