cheetahGrid.data.DataSource has subclasses cheetahGrid.data.CachedDataSource and cheetahGrid.data.FilterDataSource

CachedDataSource has the ability to cache the return value if the record is a Promise object. If you know that the record does not become Promise, you can use DataSource, In this case it is recommended to use CachedDataSource as CachedDataSource does not change in behavior.
