// Fetch fetches a single unique item.

// The MinIndex value on the Request itself should NOT be used
// as the blocking index since a request may be reused multiple times
// as part of Refresh behavior.
//
// The return value is a FetchResult which contains information about
// the fetch. If an error is given, the FetchResult is ignored. The
// cache does not support backends that return partial values.
//
// 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.
