* Retain policy for cache data structures.
* Each policy corresponds to one of Java reference types: hard-reference, soft-reference, weak-reference.
* Each policy follows the same policy used by Java garbage collector.
* With hard policy cache entries are never freed.
* With weak policy cache entries are freed as fast as it is required by garbage collector.
* With soft policy entries are stored as long as possible, but freed if required to free memory.
