Well, any such map would colocate its elements by nature.  Consider:

	cache.put(key, map).

Anything in that map is stored under a single entry in the cache.  Hence colocation.

If you break up that map and store its constituent entries as separate cache entries, then sure.  But then the trouble begins when you try and look up all of these entries again, to create a coherent and complete view.  :-)
