Hi Ben,

Thanks for the heads up. Latest Cayenne (4.0) is still supporting Java 6 (which we may drop soon), and will probably support Java 7 for a number of years. This may become different with Cayenne 5, where concurrency will be the central topic. We'll keep this information in mind.

> When Cayenne transitions to requiring Java 8, please upgrade to Caffeine. The performance should be relatively the same. The per-instance memory usage should be smaller and Cayenne may decide to opt-in to use some of the additional features. The only drawback is that Cayenne embeds a copy of the cache (rather than shading) and the jar size is larger due to code generation.
> ConcurrentLinkedHashMap changes will continue to be minimal, even more so now, and driven by requests from Java 6 users unable to upgrade. Caffeine is ideally the upgrade path for Guava cache users too, which due to Android cannot be significantly modified.
