NitroCache Files

ReadMe
======	

NitroCache is a 100% pure java in-memory cache. It is designed with an aim to provide high throughput, extremely fast and scalable cache api. It uses concepts of B-tree, Hashing and Skiplist to optimize performance. Result is, its one of the fastest in-memory cache in java providing constant time fetches.

Features
=========
       + Extremely fast, fetch operations execute at constant time, O(c), irrespective of number of threads or cache size
       + 100% Pure Java, in-memory
       + Extremely light weight, with no need of any external library
       + Simple to configure and use
       + Available with FIFO and LRU modes

Sample Usage
=============
NitroCache<String,String> _cache = null;
_cache = NitroCache.getInstance(5000, CacheEviction.FIFO);
_cache.put("1000","hello world");
System.out.println(_cache.get("1000");

Note
======
       + NitroCache uses hashCode() and equals() methods internally for storing and retrieving data. Hence its necessary for Key to have proper hashCode and equals implementation.
       + Implements java.util.Map, corresponding operations are now supported
       + FIFO setting is slightly faster then LRU setting
       + NitroCache is completely thread-safe and meant for use in multi-threaded system

System Requirement
==================
	jre1.6 or above
