/**
 * <p>Java Beans-style configuration for a {@link CachingHttpClient}. Any class
 * in the caching module that has configuration options should take a
 * {@link CacheConfig} argument in one of its constructors. A
 * {@code CacheConfig} instance has sane and conservative defaults, so the
 * easiest way to specify options is to get an instance and then set just
 * the options you want to modify from their defaults.</p>
 * 
 * <p><b>N.B.</b> This class is only for caching-specific configuration; to
 * configure the behavior of the rest of the client, configure the 
 * {@link org.apache.http.client.HttpClient} used as the &quot;backend&quot;
 * for the {@code CachingHttpClient}.</p>
 * 
 * <p>Cache configuration can be grouped into the following categories:</p>
 * 
 * <p><b>Cache size.</b> If the backend storage supports these limits, you
 * can specify the {@link CacheConfig#setMaxCacheEntries maximum number of
 * cache entries} as well as the {@link CacheConfig#setMaxObjectSizeBytes
 * maximum cacheable response body size}.</p>
 * 
 * <p><b>Public/private caching.</b> By default, the caching module considers
 * itself to be a shared (public) cache, and will not, for example, cache
 * responses to requests with {@code Authorization} headers or responses
 * marked with {@code Cache-Control: private}. If, however, the cache
 * is only going to be used by one logical "user" (behaving similarly to a
 * browser cache), then you will want to {@link
 * CacheConfig#setSharedCache(boolean) turn off the shared cache setting}.</p>
 * 
 * <p><b>Heuristic caching</b>. Per RFC2616, a cache may cache certain cache
 * entries even if no explicit cache control headers are set by the origin.
 * This behavior is off by default, but you may want to turn this on if you
 * are working with an origin that doesn't set proper headers but where you
 * still want to cache the responses. You will want to {@link
 * CacheConfig#setHeuristicCachingEnabled(boolean) enable heuristic caching},
 * then specify either a {@link CacheConfig#setHeuristicDefaultLifetime(long)
 * default freshness lifetime} and/or a {@link
 * CacheConfig#setHeuristicCoefficient(float) fraction of the time since
 * the resource was last modified}. See Sections
 * <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec13.html#sec13.2.2">
 * 13.2.2</a> and <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec13.html#sec13.2.4">
 * 13.2.4</a> of the HTTP/1.1 RFC for more details on heuristic caching.</p>
 * 
 * <p><b>Background validation</b>. The cache module supports the
 * {@code stale-while-revalidate} directive of
 * <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5861">RFC5861</a>, which allows
 * certain cache entry revalidations to happen in the background. You may
 * want to tweak the settings for the {@link
 * CacheConfig#setAsynchronousWorkersCore(int) minimum} and {@link
 * CacheConfig#setAsynchronousWorkersMax(int) maximum} number of background
 * worker threads, as well as the {@link
 * CacheConfig#setAsynchronousWorkerIdleLifetimeSecs(int) maximum time they
 * can be idle before being reclaimed}. You can also control the {@link
 * CacheConfig#setRevalidationQueueSize(int) size of the queue} used for
 * revalidations when there aren't enough workers to keep up with demand.</b>
