/**
* A semi-persistent mapping from keys to values. Values are automatically loaded by the cache,
* 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.
*
*
When evaluated as a {@link Function}, a cache yields the same result as invoking
* {@link #getUnchecked}.
*
*
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.

* Returns the value associated with {@code key} in this cache, first loading that value if
* necessary. No observable state associated with this cache is modified until loading completes.
*
*
If another call to {@link #get} or {@link #getUnchecked} is currently loading the value for
* {@code key}, simply waits for that thread to finish and returns its loaded value. Note that
* multiple threads can concurrently load values for distinct keys.
*
*
Caches loaded by a {@link CacheLoader} will call {@link CacheLoader#load} to load new values
* into the cache. Newly loaded values are added to the cache using
* {@code Cache.asMap().putIfAbsent} after loading has completed; if another value was associated
* with {@code key} while the new value was loading then a removal notification will be sent for
* the new value.
*
*
If the cache loader associated with this cache is known not to throw checked
* exceptions, then prefer {@link #getUnchecked} over this method.
*
* @throws ExecutionException if a checked exception was thrown while loading the value. ({@code
* ExecutionException} is thrown even if
* computation was interrupted by an {@code InterruptedException}.)
* @throws UncheckedExecutionException if an unchecked exception was thrown while loading the
