             Summary: Update API CacheFactory::create to return cache object
                 Key: GEODE-3645
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-3645
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: native client
            Reporter: David Kimura


As an application developer I want to control the stack vs heap allocation of my cache object.  If we change CacheFactory::create to return a cache object then the application user can pick an allocation scheme.  This also allows application developers to bypass smart pointer complexity until the developer deems them necessary.

Example:

{noformat}
auto cache = CacheFactory::createFactory().create();
auto cacheptr = std::make_shared<Cache>(CacheFactory::createFactory().create());
{noformat}

Difficulty of implementation is due to Cache/CacheImpl circular dependency.  Here are a few examples of various approaches to consider:
