Interface ObjectPool<O>

All Known Implementing Classes:
LandFillObjectPool
public interface ObjectPool<O>
An interface to get and give back objects that are intended to be long-lived and recycled, but where the location in the code for beginning to use the object is far from the location where we stop using it, e.g. across different threads. If the reuse is localized, then consider whether it may be simpler to leverage a ThreadLocal or a CloseableThreadLocal. The intent of having an interface is to experiment with different pooling strategies.
