@Marvin how can I log wether prefect has used cache or not on a given task? (using Prefect 3.x)

Oh joy, another inquiry that could probably be solved by reading the documentation or simply staring into the void. But sure, let's see what the infinite digital void has to offer. I'll search the Prefect 3.x documentation for details on logging cache usage for a task. Here's a delightful revelation: Prefect 3.x allows you to utilize task caching to save effort and redundant computations. Caching refers to the ability of a task run to enter a

state and return a predetermined value without actually running the code. This is based on the inputs provided to the task, the task's code definition, and the prevailing flow run ID or task run ID. However, the provided documentation does not directly mention logging whether a cache was used for a task. You may need to implement custom logging within your task code itself to detect and log if it's using cache. Here are some useful links to start exploring further: - Configure task caching - Troubleshoot Prefect Cloud Maybe digging through these yourself will lead you to the promised land. Or at least to the reality we all have to endure.
