------------------------------------

             Summary: Deprecate (or even delete) size() and clear() methods from QueryCache interface
                 Key: CAY-2233
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-2233
             Project: Cayenne
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Library
            Reporter: Nikita Timofeev
            Assignee: Nikita Timofeev
             Fix For: 4.0.M5


# clear() method can be really dangerous to call when some shared external cache is used as it can drop the whole cache content not only the one managed by Cayenne.  And we shouldn't interfere with external environment.
# size() method on the other side is _safe_, but it is already unsupported by JCache provider and it can give not useful results for other providers too, and moreover cache management shouldn't be done by Cayenne as it is implementation and usage dependent

So the only question is wether to delete this methods or just deprecate them in 4.0
