/**
* <p>A future cache that prevents the loading of the same resource twice. This should be used when the resource
* to load is very expensive or cannot be concurrently retrieved (like a classloading).</p>
*
* <p>The future cache should be used with the {@link #get(Object, Object)} method, that retrieves an object
* from the cache. When the object is not found, then the {@link Loader#retrieve(Object, Object)} method is
* used to retrieve the data and then this data is inserted in the cache.</p>
*
* <p>The class is abstract and does not implement a cache technology by itself, the cache implementation is delegated
* to the contractual methods {@link #get(Object)} and {@link #put(Object, Object)}. Those methods are intended
* to be used by the future cache only.</p>
*
* <p>The {@link Loader} interface provides a source to retrieve objects to put in the cache. The goal to maintain
* this interface is to decouple the cache from the object source.</p>
