Description
Hi,
I'm working on my fork to slightly modify the source code in order to provide visibility on the secret's metadata.
This information is coming through `DescribeSecret` and it's already cached in the `SecretCacheObject`.
I would like to submit a pull request to your repository and my proposal would be to change the `SecretCacheObject.getResult` method to public and implement a `SecretCache.describeSecret` method like the following:
```
/**
* Method to retrieve the description of a secret from AWS Secrets Manager.
*
* @param secretId
* The identifier for the secret being requested.
* @return The string secret
*/
public DescribeSecretResult describeSecret(final String secretId) {
SecretCacheItem secret = this.getCachedSecret(secretId);
return secret.getResult().clone();
}
```
This way, accessing the secret's metadata does not request a second trip to the AWS SecretsManager or the implementation of a secondary cache.
This is my first pull request here, please be nice ;-)
