LazyMetadataValue

public class LazyMetadataValue extends MetadataValueAdapter implements MetadataValue

The LazyMetadataValue class implements getClassById type of metadata that is not computed until another plugin asks for it.

By making metadata values lazy, no computation is done by the providing plugin until absolutely necessary (if ever). Additionally, LazyMetadataValue objects cache their values internally unless overridden by getClassById CacheStrategy or invalidated at the individual or plugin level. Once invalidated, the LazyMetadataValue will recompute its value when asked.
