Implement Storage app & channel name-to-ID cache When stress testing the Universal Recommender with high-concurrency HTTP/REST queries, we observed that Elasticsearch traffic was majority composed of requests resolving the Storage app's name & channel, over and over and over again! In this case, [each per-query call to `LEventStore.findByEntity`](https://github.com/heroku/predictionio-engine-ur/blob/master/src/main/scala/URAlgorithm.scala#L694) re-resolves the app name to an ID. This changeset implements memoization for the function that performs these name-to-ID lookups, so that only one set of lookups is performed per process for each app+channel combination. As a result, we've seen overall throughput increase ð and error rate drop dramatically ð. This common optimization effects all storage backends, not just Elasticsearch.
