Location of the type specific explorers.
See cdist-explorers(7).
- cache/hosts/:
Contains cache of every known host.

FUTURE
------
The following functionality may be implemented in the next release (or so).
- tmpdir/cache/: New cache
This directory contains elements for the new cache of the host.
If all stages are completed successfully, the new cache is used
to replace the previous one.
- tmpdir/explorers/: Output of explorers
If the run was successful, the results are copied into the new cache.
- tmpdir/objects/: Objects created during run
If the run was successful, the results are copied into the new cache.
- cache/
The cache contains the cconfig output tree from previous runs, which
may also be used in types to gather information about other hosts
(like ssh-keys).
