    Description

      Currently caches have configuration to specify memory storing aspects that affects eviction, e.g.

      <memory>
    <object size="20000"/>
</memory>

      <memory>
   <off-heap size="10000000" eviction="MEMORY"/>
</memory>

      <memory>
   <binary strategy="EXCEPTION" eviction="MEMORY" size="5000"/>
</memory>

      Each of those configurations affect the format that the data will be stored, being object the default on-heap storage, off-heap the byte[] out of heap storage and binary an on-heap format that mix byte[], String and primitives.

      This ticket proposes to have the MediaType of the keys and values to dictate the storage format, and let the <memory> element to be responsible to choose between on-heap and off-heap storage, eliminating the Binary option altogether. The configuration would be something like:

      <!-- Default configuration, heap storage with POJOs -->
<memory storage="heap">
    <eviction size="20000"/>
</memory>

      <!-- Storing java serialized objects, on-heap -->
<encoding>
    <key media-type="application/x-java-serialized-object"/>
    <value media-type="application/x-java-serialized-object"/>
</encoding>
<memory storage="heap">
    <eviction size="20000"/>
</memory>

      <!-- Off-heap configuration, in protobuf format -->
<encoding>
    <key media-type="application/x-protostream"/>
    <value media-type="application/x-protostream"/>
</encoding>
<memory storage="off-heap">
    <eviction size="10000000" eviction="MEMORY"/>
</memory>
