node cache don't need to get all the information about every
  candidate node. For huge clusters, sending full node information
  of all nodes in the cluster on the wire every time a pod is scheduled
  is expensive. If the scheduler is capable of caching node information
  along with its capabilities, sending node name alone is sufficient.
  These changes provide that optimization in a backward compatible way
