[infinispan-dev] evict

[Manik Surtani]

The evict call should not happen within the context of a transaction  
(I don't see why this should ever happen).  It would ideally be called  
by a maintenance thread (either our own eviction thread or a user  
controlled one) but the sole purpose of this operation is to trim down  
memory usage and not to actually change the state in the system (this  
is why it doesn't affect cache stores).  If the javadocs around this  
aren't as clear, could you please update them?

Thanks
Manik
