47  /**
48   * <p>A builder of {@link LoadingCache} and {@link Cache} instances having any combination of the
49   * following features:
50   *
51   * <ul>
52   * <li>automatic loading of entries into the cache
53   * <li>least-recently-used eviction when a maximum size is exceeded
54   * <li>time-based expiration of entries, measured since last access or last write
55   * <li>keys automatically wrapped in {@linkplain WeakReference weak} references
56   * <li>values automatically wrapped in {@linkplain WeakReference weak} or
57   *     {@linkplain SoftReference soft} references
58   * <li>notification of evicted (or otherwise removed) entries
59   * <li>accumulation of cache access statistics
60   * </ul>
61   *
62   * <p>These features are all optional; caches can be created using all or none of them. By default
63   * cache instances created by {@code CacheBuilder} will not perform any type of eviction.
64   *
65   * <p>Usage example: <pre>   {@code
66   *
67   *   LoadingCache<Key, Graph> graphs = CacheBuilder.newBuilder()
68   *       .maximumSize(10000)
69   *       .expireAfterWrite(10, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
70   *       .removalListener(MY_LISTENER)
71   *       .build(
72   *           new CacheLoader<Key, Graph>() {
73   *             public Graph load(Key key) throws AnyException {
74   *               return createExpensiveGraph(key);
75   *             }
76   *           });}</pre>
77   *
78   * <p>Or equivalently, <pre>   {@code
79   *
80   *   // In real life this would come from a command-line flag or config file
81   *   String spec = "maximumSize=10000,expireAfterWrite=10m";
82   *
83   *   LoadingCache<Key, Graph> graphs = CacheBuilder.from(spec)
84   *       .removalListener(MY_LISTENER)
85   *       .build(
86   *           new CacheLoader<Key, Graph>() {
87   *             public Graph load(Key key) throws AnyException {
88   *               return createExpensiveGraph(key);
89   *             }
90   *           });}</pre>
91   *
92   * <p>The returned cache is implemented as a hash table with similar performance characteristics to
93   * {@link ConcurrentHashMap}. It implements all optional operations of the {@link LoadingCache} and
94   * {@link Cache} interfaces. The {@code asMap} view (and its collection views) have <i>weakly
95   * consistent iterators</i>. This means that they are safe for concurrent use, but if other threads
96   * modify the cache after the iterator is created, it is undefined which of these changes, if any,
97   * are reflected in that iterator. These iterators never throw {@link
98   * ConcurrentModificationException}.
99   *
100  * <p><b>Note:</b> by default, the returned cache uses equality comparisons (the
101  * {@link Object#equals equals} method) to determine equality for keys or values. However, if
102  * {@link #weakKeys} was specified, the cache uses identity ({@code ==})
103  * comparisons instead for keys. Likewise, if {@link #weakValues} or {@link #softValues} was
104  * specified, the cache uses identity comparisons for values.
105  *
106  * <p>Entries are automatically evicted from the cache when any of
107  * {@linkplain #maximumSize(long) maximumSize}, {@linkplain #maximumWeight(long) maximumWeight},
108  * {@linkplain #expireAfterWrite expireAfterWrite},
109  * {@linkplain #expireAfterAccess expireAfterAccess}, {@linkplain #weakKeys weakKeys},
110  * {@linkplain #weakValues weakValues}, or {@linkplain #softValues softValues} are requested.
111  *
112  * <p>If {@linkplain #maximumSize(long) maximumSize} or
113  * {@linkplain #maximumWeight(long) maximumWeight} is requested entries may be evicted on each cache
114  * modification.
115  *
116  * <p>If {@linkplain #expireAfterWrite expireAfterWrite} or
117  * {@linkplain #expireAfterAccess expireAfterAccess} is requested entries may be evicted on each
118  * cache modification, on occasional cache accesses, or on calls to {@link Cache#cleanUp}. Expired
119  * entries may be counted by {@link Cache#size}, but will never be visible to read or write
120  * operations.
121  *
122  * <p>If {@linkplain #weakKeys weakKeys}, {@linkplain #weakValues weakValues}, or
123  * {@linkplain #softValues softValues} are requested, it is possible for a key or value present in
124  * the cache to be reclaimed by the garbage collector. Entries with reclaimed keys or values may be
125  * removed from the cache on each cache modification, on occasional cache accesses, or on calls to
126  * {@link Cache#cleanUp}; such entries may be counted in {@link Cache#size}, but will never be
127  * visible to read or write operations.
128  *
129  * <p>Certain cache configurations will result in the accrual of periodic maintenance tasks which
130  * will be performed during write operations, or during occasional read operations in the absence of
131  * writes. The {@link Cache#cleanUp} method of the returned cache will also perform maintenance, but
132  * calling it should not be necessary with a high throughput cache. Only caches built with
133  * {@linkplain #removalListener removalListener}, {@linkplain #expireAfterWrite expireAfterWrite},
134  * {@linkplain #expireAfterAccess expireAfterAccess}, {@linkplain #weakKeys weakKeys},
135  * {@linkplain #weakValues weakValues}, or {@linkplain #softValues softValues} perform periodic
136  * maintenance.
137  *
138  * <p>The caches produced by {@code CacheBuilder} are serializable, and the deserialized caches
139  * retain all the configuration properties of the original cache. Note that the serialized form does
140  * <i>not</i> include cache contents, but only configuration.
141  *
142  * <p>See the Guava User Guide article on <a href=
143  * "http://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/wiki/CachesExplained">caching</a> for a higher-level
144  * explanation.
