Difference / Relationship between EhCache v2 and EhCache v3

Question

Recently I am doing some research about the performance of java local caches and, of course, I run into ehcache. As far as can see in the documentation and in the artifacts publ

Answer 1

Version 3 is, as you would expect, the new version. Version 2 is still wildly used and for some time, version 3 was missing some features, including clustering. This is why Spring-Boot embed both.

Right now version 3 is the actively maintained and developed version. It should in fact be faster. It is also type-safe and JSR107 (JCache) compatible.

If this is not your experience, I am highly interested in seeing your benchmark.
