From openshift pull request:
It was explained to me that informers are almost always are more efficient, and in most cases will work, but a live lookup is appropriate after a number of failures.
This happens only on the retry portion, so we're still getting the benefits of informers, but, on a retry situation, we don't get a cache miss.
