#Design LRU Cache or Application Cache Problem Statement Application Cache An Application stores several entities, such as users, roles and organizations, in a database. During testing, it is found that the performance of the application is not good. On analysis, it is found that repeated DB access is causing a performance bottleneck. The solution is to come up with an in memory cache that caches recently used (evict LRU) entities. You are required to implement a cache based on this requirement. This cache framework should be generic enough to operate over all types of entities. You also need to implement a class, UserManager that uses the cache to improve performance. UserManager needs to have createUser, modifyUser, deleteUser and searchUser functionality. Guidelines:

1. Implement all operations of cache such as put, modify, get and flush.
2. Minimize the time complexities (execution time) for each supported cache operation.
3. The API for Cache should be well designed.
4. Use Design Patterns as appropriate
5. You can assume a DBStore interface/mock for fetching any data from DB

General Guidelines:

1. Code should be answered using Java only, preferably Java 5.0 or above.
2. Program should not be dependent on third party libraries.
3. Readability, Extensibility and Testability are the major perspectives code should be presented.
4. Evaluator should be able to understand and test the code without coder’s intervention.
5. Assumptions, if any, should be practical and near to real world scenarios
