Robin Sommer commented on BIT-1125:
-----------------------------------

Agree with Jon, I think we want the option, it just feels unnecessary to pass through script-land in cases where there's really no question on how to compute the handle. I don't think that's actually different from other low-level decisions analyzers sometimes make on how to process something without asking script-land for its opinion. 

Also, analyzers can document whether they offer any customization.

I think I'll rename {{cached_id}} to {{precomputed_id}} then make it cover both cases.

(and I would like to have a document eventually that summarizes the options an analyzer have :-)

> This branch is in bro and bro-testing repos.  It adds a file ID caching / "fast path" mechanism to the file analysis API and adapts HTTP to use it for performance improvement.
