/**
* Interface for any Level 2 Cache used internally.
* Provides the typical controls required internally and including the JDO2/JPA1 L2 cache methods.
*
* JDO and JPA allow the use of a level 2 (L2) cache, with the cache shared between
* PersistenceManagers/EntityManagers. The objects in the level 2 cache don't pertain to any
* one manager. The L2 cache in DataNucleus is as follows :-
*
*
* The L2 cache stores an object of type org.datanucleus.cache.CachedPC and is keyed
* by the identity of the object. The CachedPC contains a persistable object (not
* connected to an ObjectProvider), together with the indicators for which fields are loaded, as
* well as values for any relation fields. The persistable object will have values as null for
* any relation fields, and it is these relation field values stored in the CachedPC
* that provide linkage to other objects.
*
*
* The relation field values also do not store actual objects; they store the identities of the
* related objects. For example if an object X has a 1-1 relation with another persistable
* object Y then in the relation field values for X for that field we store the identity of
* Y. Similarly if the field is a Collection, then the relation field values will be a
* Collection of identities of the related objects. This provides isolation of each object
* in the L2 cache (so objects aren't storing references to other objects and so allowing garbage
* collection etc).
*
*
* Objects are stored in the L2 cache in the following situations
*
*
* - An object is retrieved (from the datastore) within a transaction, and it is
* stored in the L2 cache if no object with that identity already exists there.
* - At commit() of the transaction any object that has been modified during that
* transaction will be stored/updated in the L2 cache if its persistable object is
* still in memory in the PM/EM (could have been garbage collected since flushing)
*
*
* Each class can be configured to be cacheable or not. The default for a persistable
* class is to be cacheable. Configuration is performed via annotations or XML metadata.
* If a class is not cacheable then objects of that type aren't stored in the L2 cache.
