Verbose output of running

$ golangci-lint cache clean
$ golangci-lint run -v
# paste output here

Running that command won't really demonstrate anything, since the problem is with parallel runs.

The issue we've found is that running golangci-lint in parallel across many Go packages at once randomly raises cache errors.

Here's an example command that is being run:
golangci-lint run --config ./golangci-lint.yaml --new-from-rev HEAD~1 --allow-parallel-runners service/some-service/status/testcommon

And we get the following output:

[linters context/goanalysis] Failed to get persisted facts: failed to get data from low-level cache by key fact_deprecated/facts for package poly1305: read 0/175 bytes from /home/circleci/.cache/golangci-lint/6d/6d78660c561490491927308565fcbb57fcd62192de30916210f7d6d106df67d7-a with error EOF

Typically this will happen a few times (2-4) when running this across dozens of directories. The directories where this happens vary each time. Running with --allow-serial-runners seems to make this go away.

I'm guessing there's some sort of race condition with parallel runners and the cache files/directories.
