Consider the following:

Cache<K, V> cache = ...;
KeyValueFilter<K, V> filter = ...;
EntryIterator<K, V> entries = cache.getAdvancedCache().withFlags(Flag.CACHE_MODE_LOCAL, Flag.SKIP_CACHE_LOAD).filterEntries(filter);

One would expect this to return only local, in-memory entries, but it instead returns both entries from remote nodes and from a cache loader, effectively ignoring the configured flags.
