Major Description
Currently the cache stores and accounts for records, not bytes or objects. This investigation would be around measuring any performance overheads that come from storing bytes or objects. As an outcome we should know whether 1) we should store bytes or 2) we should store objects.
If we store objects, the cache still needs to know their size (so that it can know if the object fits in the allocated cache space, e.g., if the cache is 100MB and the object is 10MB, we'd have space for 10 such objects). The investigation needs to figure out how to find out the size of the object efficiently in Java.
If we store bytes, then we are serialising an object into bytes before caching it, i.e., we take a serialisation cost. The investigation needs measure how bad this cost can be especially for the case when all objects fit in cache (and thus any extra serialisation cost would show).
