Cache.Shrinkable (harness 2.68.0 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

PrecombineGroupingTable

Enclosing interface:

Cache<K,V>

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
```
@ThreadSafe
@FunctionalInterface
public static interface Cache.Shrinkable<V>
```
An interface that marks an object that can be reduced in size instead of being evicted completely.
Types should consider implementing Weighted to not invoke the overhead of using the default weigher multiple times.
This interface may be invoked from any other thread that manipulates the cache causing this value to be shrunk. Implementers must ensure thread safety with respect to any side effects caused.
