This LRUCache is implemented using ReadWriteLock allowing parallel reads where as only a single write can happen at a time. But caches are meant for read with less write and this approach would help in parallel reads for small scale of data.
This approach has a major disadvantage with respect to time taken for searching an entry if the scale of data to be retained is huge. This is because the ConcurrentLinkedQueue needs to be scanned to re-add after picking up the data every time. For large scale data it is better to use the synchronized LinkedHashMap approach.
