      com.google.common.cache.RemovalNotification<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Map.Entry<K,V>

    @Beta
    public final class RemovalNotification<K,V>

extends Object
implements Map.Entry<K,V>

A notification of the removal of a single entry. The key and/or value may be null if they were already garbage collected.

Like other `Map.Entry` instances associated with `CacheBuilder`, this class holds strong references to the key and value, regardless of the type of references the cache may be using.
