Passing a type isn't too unusual. But what happens if the returned
content is actually of another type?
I would have such a method to also imply a filter on the type, that's
also useful in practice: either it's just a safeguard for when it's a
mono-type cache, or if the user wants to store multiple types in the
Cache he will probably need a type filter anyway.
BTW the CloseableIterator is what it is because we created that in
Infinispan Query; it's nothing more than an Iterator (which is also
type) but which makes it very clear to the user that resources will
leak if it's not closed properly.
It's a nice idea to reuse the contract for consistency, if it works
out. And of course we can evolve the Query API as well if we get
better ideas now.

That is a good point, Galder. Unfortunately the return type is lost
since
we only pass a name for the filterconverter factory instead of the converter
which contains the type. We would have to allow the code to specify the
type in the assigned variable it is returned to or ask for a Class instance
to be passed for inline type inference.
<E> CloseableIterator<E> retrieveEntries(...)
CloseableIterator<E> retrieveEntries(..., Class<E> returnType)
