All Implemented Interfaces:

EvictionStrategy

public class LFUEvictionStrategy
extends AbstractEvictionStrategy

The heap LFUDA ( Least Frequently Used) policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached.
