/**
*
* A cache for hard references using an LRU policy. References are simply
* cached, but objects are not recoverable from their reference. In order to
* make an object recoverable, this cache must be wrapped by a weak reference
* cache that implements a hash map for discovery of objects using their
* persistent identifier. The {@link HardReferenceQueue} has a capacity that
* determines the #of hard references that may be cached before an object is
* evicted from the cache. Objects may be stored multiple times on the cache but
* the nscan most recent references are always tested before appending a
* reference to the cache in order to minimize cache churn when an object is
* touched repeatedly in close succession. Likewise, eviction does not mean that
* the object is no longer on the hard reference cache, nor does eviction mean
* that no hard references to the object exist within the VM. However, eviction
* is nevertheless used to drive persistence of the object. Since an object may
* be evicted multiple times without being updated in between evictions, this
* requires the object to implement a protocol for determining whether or not it
* is dirty. Eviction is then contingent on that protocol and the dirty state of
* the object is reset when it is serialized for eviction. In combination with
* the object's dirty protocol, the hard reference cache can substitute for a
* commit list.
*
*
* Note: This implementation is NOT synchronized.
