Since Lumen dashboards take advantage of both threading and caching by default it is quite common for multiple threads to attempt cache lookups at the same time. If they all attempt to look for the same data or schema the query may be run multiple times pointlessly.
Here we implement thread locking for caches ensuring that once a single thread attempts to perform a cache lookup other threads won't simultaneously run a query.
