: Subject: SolrCache not using generics? : : Maybe we can add generics to SolrCache or is there a design reason not to?
I assuming you are talking about the put/get and regenerator methods dealing with "Object" ? Generics were probably never added is because of how the Caches get instantiated via reflection -- making them generic might make development simpler (eliminate the need for explicit casting) but the run time risk still exists that some code could shove something in a cache of a different type then you are expecting to get back out. Of course: that risk exists with any Generic-ized class you don't instantiate yourself, so i don't see any downside to adding them. -Hoss
