Interface EvictionStrategy


Deprecated.

@Deprecated
public interface EvictionStrategy

EvictionStrategy decides which entry to evict when the cache reaches its limits. The eviction strategy acts as a CacheEntry factory, this way if the cache has a new element inserted then the eviction strategy would be informed of such an operation and can keep track of the state of the cache. In order to keep track of the entries use the cache informs the eviction strategy on each use ("touch") of a CacheEntry.
