Use of caching in carbonzipper together with sendGlobsAsIs in carbonapi leads to "timeout waiting for more responses"

[antonsoroko]

Hi!

We have faced the following issue:
if we enable sendGlobsAsIs in carbonapi and set expireDelaySec>0 in carbonzipper then request with a relatively large number of metrics (about 65) fails in carbonzipper:

(afterStarted: "5s" in this example)

If number of metrics more than maxBatchSize (in carbonapi) - everything is fine and this make sense.

If we set expireDelaySec: 0 (with enabled sendGlobsAsIs) then carbonzipper works fine:

And as you can see runtime_seconds is relatively small.

Could you please help with this issue?

Thanks in advance.
