Let me know if this makes sense:
<expiration> //no changes here
<memory evictionStrategy=... evictionPolicy=...>
//one of the following
<on-heap max-entries=.../>
<on-heap-binary max-size=.../>
<off-heap ...max-size? and off-heap config.../>
</memory>
<persistence> //no changes here
wdyt?
Seems fine to me. And to be honest I forgot to mention this but
EvictionStrategy and EvictionPolicy are completely redundant now. Policy
has been for a while as we always used the same thread and Strategy is only
Caffeine and for off heap I was thinking of a simple LRU.
This means that the data container element would be removed in favor of
"memory"? The reason being is that equivalence will be gone and afaik we
never really supported a custom data container (eviction wouldn't work with
it and neither would off heap). In that case why not just keep using data
container element?
