public interface Region
Contract for a named cache "region". A logical region might not necessarily correlate to any specific concept in the underlying caching provider - it's just a thing that can be referenced by name later.

A region's name is "unqualified"; i.e. it is not prefixed by SessionFactoryOptions.getCacheRegionPrefix().

Region is the base contract defining some common characteristics regardless of the type of data intended to be stored within the region. The more specific subtypes are:
