    Keyur,

      You can cache Discovery results if you want to - but it's not like caching your typical database queries.  Keep in mind that Watson Discovery is an AI tool, and its search is not some SQL-like thing, it is a semantic search.  So usually you pass it some phrase or utterance and depending on the documents currently in it's corpus, as well as the relevancy training that your model is getting, you may end up getting different results for a specific query today than you got for the same query yesterday.  So we typically do not suggest caching things - but I do know some use cases where this might make sense (from a performance perspective).
