 /**
- * This ehcache disk caching tier uses its value serializer outside ehcache.
- * Values are transformed to byte[] outside ehcache and then ehcache uses its bundled byte[] serializer.
- * The key serializer you pass to this class produces a byte[]. This serializer is passed to a wrapper which
- * implements Ehcache's serializer implementation and produces a BytesBuffer. The wrapper instance is then passed to ehcache.
- * This is done because to get keys on a disk tier, ehcache internally checks the equals() method of the serializer,
- * but ALSO requires newKey.equals(storedKey) (this isn't documented), which is the case for ByteBuffer but not byte[].
- * This limitation means that the key serializer must preserve the class of the key before/after serialization,
- * but the value serializer does not have to do this.
  * @param <K> The key type of cache entries
  * @param <V> The value type of cache entries
