> When using hibernate's query cache (hibernate.cache.use_query_cache),
> then it's of fundamental importance to configure the Update Timestamps cache region in
> a way that his entries survive longer than the cached result sets in the Query cache region.
> Otherwise queries could return wrong (obsolete) result sets (See attached testcase).
> This is because the current UpdateTimestampsCache#isUpToDate implementation considers a result-set also as up-to-date,
> if there are no update-timestamps cached for the interested spaces (tables) at all.
> It if therefore important to notice that:
> 1- The Update-Timestamps-Cache-Region elements max-size should be configured higher than the number of tables you have 
>    on the db-schema, in manner that he can remember/hold the last update-timestamp for each table.
> 2- If you use any other eviction policy in the Update-Timestamps-Cache-Region, then you must assure 
>    that cached result sets in the Query-cache-region are evicted before relevant update-timestamps are going to be evicted.
> This fact should be clearly documented somewhere.
> Thanks
