> To make optimum use of memory allocated to the various caches created in Oak it would be better to use Apache DirectMemory [1] as the level 2 (L2) cache. Further using Kryo[2] Serializer would enable saving of serialized objects in more compact form
> * Storing cache objects in serialized form provides a more compact storage
> * Deserializtion cost is low
> * Using Off heap memory would be helpful compared to on heap memory
> * L2 cache can be added as an optional feature. Oak Core can still be
> used in absence of L2 cache
> Implementation details 
> * [Feature Branch|https://github.com/chetanmeh/jackrabbit-oak/tree/offheap]
> * [Diff |https://github.com/chetanmeh/jackrabbit-oak/compare/apache:ab955ffd40e23a9f8aee87f9076bc045b643e35d...offheap]
> * Test cases to be added
> Implementation notes
> * Adds DirectMemory and Kryo library as optional dependencies
> * Decorates the Guava Cache to move the evicted objects to L2 cache
> * Using L2 cache is completely optional
> * Kryo library is used to provide fast and compact serialization. 
> * Uses custom serializers for various cache instances to provide a more compact storage
> * Instead of using the key as is (i.e. path in MongoMK) it stores the hash of the path to conserve memory
