[infinispan-dev] CS API still needs more polishing?

[Galder Zamarreño]

Hi,

Doing this throws a warning due to unchecked assignment:

ExternalStore<Integer, String> boundedStore = new SingleFileStore();

Granted, the users won't be doing this, but should all cache stores use generics properly? At the end of the day, implementations such as SingleFileStore are what cache store developers are gonna be looking at to get inspiration of how to write cache stores.

I'm aware that some of the internals assume Object keys and values, and there will be a point where an unchecked cast will need to be done, but this should happen within the internals of our cache implementation. 

Cache store implementations should use generics properly.

Cheers,

p.s. Or maybe we should move to language were generics are properly enforced ;)
