> Cassandra currently uses [ConcurrentLinkedHashMap|https://code.google.com/p/concurrentlinkedhashmap] for performance critical caches (key, counter) and Guava's cache for non-critical (auth, metrics, security). All of these usages have been replaced by [Caffeine|https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine], written by the author of the previously mentioned libraries.
> The primary incentive is to switch from LRU policy to W-TinyLFU, which provides [near optimal|https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine/wiki/Efficiency] hit rates. It performs particularly well in database and search traces, is scan resistant, and as adds a very small time/space overhead to LRU.
> Secondarily, Guava's caches never obtained similar [performance|https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine/wiki/Benchmarks] to CLHM due to some optimizations not being ported over. This change results in faster reads and not creating garbage as a side-effect.
