public Class GenericKeyedObjectPool<K, T>

When coupled with the appropriate KeyedPooledObjectFactory, GenericKeyedObjectPool provides robust pooling functionality for keyed objects. A GenericKeyedObjectPool can be viewed as a map of sub-pools, keyed on the (unique) key values provided to the preparePool, addObject or borrowObject methods. Each time a new key value is provided to one of these methods, a sub-new pool is created under the given key to be managed by the containing GenericKeyedObjectPool.

Note that the current implementation uses a ConcurrentHashMap which uses equals() to compare keys. This means that distinct instance keys must be distinguishable using equals.

Optionally, one may configure the pool to examine and possibly evict objects as they sit idle in the pool and to ensure that a minimum number of idle objects is maintained for each key. This is performed by an "idle object eviction" thread, which runs asynchronously. Caution should be used when configuring this optional feature. Eviction runs contend with client threads for access to objects in the pool, so if they run too frequently performance issues may result.

This class is intended to be thread-safe.
