exists always returns true after first true response

[Philip-Wu]

After the first response has returned true, any subsequent requests where no matching variants could be found, still return true.

After looking through the code, it turns out that the problem has to do with the way the response is stored.

The BeaconAlleleResponse is stored as a global variable in the beacon.py file.

Not only does this cache the previous result, but will introduce race conditions when serving multiple concurrent requests.

Do you know of any other beacon implementations that sits in front of the GA4GH server that works out of the box?

Thanks

Phil
