Highly dynamic queries with many different combinations of joins can generate unique cache keys on every execution, causing cache bloat while providing little performance benefit. This option allows selectively disabling Ecto's internal query cache for such cases, preventing cache pollution while still maintaining normal caching behavior for typical queries. When set to false, the query bypasses cache lookup, cache insertion, and cache update callbacks, going directly to query normalization and adapter preparation on each execution.
