From my understanding, the Cache class provided by FuelPHP is a wrapper over the configured (selected) caching library.
What I see from documentation available for me is Cache::get() will throw an CacheNotFoundException if cache does not exists, but throwing and catching exception sounds heavy operation for me (generating stack traces etc).
Is there another way to check the cache not exists?
This is a much debated issue, and up until now we haven't found a satisfactory solution, one that doesn't require complete redesign. The problem with static methods is that you have no object to work with, so there is also no object to call a getResultCode() on.
So this requires, like we've done for many other classes in recent times, refactoring in which the static facade will be split from the cache instance (for example Crypt, Session and Asset already work that way).
Since you don't tend to cache lots of things at once, and the reason you cache is so that you don't have a lot of "not found"'s, it hasn't had a very high priority up until now.
