> {{SegmentCache}} contains, through the underlying Guava cache, hard references to both {{SegmentId}} and {{Segment}} instances. Thus, {{SegmentCache}} contributes to the computation of in-memory references that, in turn, constitute the root references of the garbage collection algorithm.
> Further investigations are needed to assess this statement but, if {{SegmentCache}} is proved to be problematic, there are some possible solutions.
> For example, {{SegmentCache}} might be reworked to store references to MSB/LSB pairs as keys, instead of to {{SegmentId}} instances. Moreover, instead of referencing {{Segment}} instances as values, {{SegmentCache}} might hold references to their underlying {{ByteBuffer}}. With these changes in place, {{SegmentCache}} would not interfere with {{SegmentTracker}} and the garbage collection algorithm.
