> In some cases there is necessity to control a type of object that is being
> inserted into a cache.
> Presently this kind of check is accomplished at compile time only relying
> on Java Generics. However it doesn't prevent us from connecting to a
> cluster using a non-generic instance of a cache and put any kind of data in
> it. This may be not a harmful intention but rather a silly developer mistake.
> The following solutions is proposed:
> - if {{MutableConfiguration.setTypes(Class<K>
> keyType, Class<V> valueType)}} are defined and not equal to Object.class then on every cache modification operation (put, invoke, etc.) type of a key and value has to be checked before being inserted;
> - to support BinaryObjects we should introduce an additional method {{CacheConfiguration.setTypeNams(String keyType, String valueType)}} which will force checking of a key and value types the same way as above.
> Refer to the discussion on the dev list:
