Description

I'd love to be able to plugin a specific caffeine implementation rather than just the default. For instance with an oauth token that requires being "refreshed" via an http request. I'd love to be able to use https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine/wiki/Refresh to do it

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the current LfuCache implementation to understand how the Caffeine cache is built, then design a way to allow users to provide a custom Caffeine CacheLoader for refreshing entries.
