Hi, Right now there are several "homegrown" caches in Jackrabbit. Some configurable, some based on soft/weak references. Using JCache it would make it possible to leverage existing caching implementations. This could help in making the caches better configurable and tunable and have features like overflow to disk, which could help with large transactions, persist caches to disk during restart for cache warming and clustered caches. For example it could be interesting to share bundle/item state caches between cluster nodes.
