There's two features I came up with solutions for: JBCACHE-880 - Add per node expiration This is essentially an eviction (or removal) policy that allows you to specify when a node is automatically evicted. It is simply activated by adding a policy to your configuration, and by setting a key on a Node. How and why would this feature be useful to you? JBCACHE-841 - Add Node sorting An example use would be to cache a phone directory, and then be able to iterate or select a subset of children, such as "G-I". The simple solution is described in the issue. Basically, you would be able to indicate the sorted order of nodes by supplying a Comparator.
