* A semi-persistent mapping from keys to values. Cache entries are manually added using
* {@link #get(Object, Callable)} or {@link #put(Object, Object)}, and are stored in the cache until
* either evicted or manually invalidated.
*
*
Implementations of this interface are expected to be thread-safe, and can be safely accessed
* by multiple concurrent threads.
*
*
Note that while this class is still annotated as {@link Beta}, the API is frozen from a
* consumer's standpoint. In other words existing methods are all considered {@code non-Beta} and
* won't be changed without going through an 18 month deprecation cycle; however new methods may be
* added at any time.
