Description

Hi @martindurant,

Creating this issues to take an alignment before making any changes to move prefetcher logic (from gcsfs) to filesystem_spec repo:

  1. Do you want to keep prefetcher as a new cache-type or want to keep over the existing caches?
  2. If on top of the caches, do you have any idea about the end state or how you want to go about that?

Research direction

Start by reading gcsfs/prefetcher.py, the implementation named in the issue, and compare it with the existing cache types in filesystem_spec. The first step is to resolve whether the prefetcher should be a new cache type or operate above existing caches; completion criteria are not defined until that design direction is agreed.
