// Cache is a cache used to store data read from data in memory.

// implement their own *C.leveldb_cache_t and create a Cache.
//
// To prevent memory leaks, a Cache must have Close called on it when it is
// no longer needed by the program. Note: if the process is shutting down,
// this may not be necessary and could be avoided to shorten shutdown time.
