/**
 * runCache is the other main execution thread for collecting data items
 * which will get packed into bundles and submitted to the network
 * in order to archive them. This method should run indefinitely.
 *
 * This method stays in sync with the bundle proposal rounds
 * where the other main method "runNode" takes part. It works
 * by running in parallel to the validation and submission of
 * bundle proposals. When data needs to be validated or proposed
 * the other method simply looks in the globally available cache
 * and checks if this method already added some items into it.
 *
 * It starts by getting the current pool index and checking at
 * from which index to which the node has to collect the data items
 * in order to participate in the current proposal round.
 *
 * After a bundle proposal got finalized the cache gets cleared of
 * all finalized data items since they are not needed anymore and
 * starts collecting the data items which are needed for the
 * following round.
 *
 * @method runCache
 * @param {Node} this
 * @return {Promise<void>}
