A good idea! I would recommend making this a decorator as opposed to a full-blown implementation. I do not have your original source here, so I don't know if that's what you did or not. If you made it a decorator, you could nest maps to combine different implementation benefits. For example, I could create a cache that is both TTL and LRU based.
