OHC is a Java library providing a large off-heap (off-heap memory) cache with linked and chunked implementations, TTL support, and LRU eviction. It is explicitly no longer maintained.

Use cases

  • cache large datasets outside the JVM heap
  • reduce GC pressure from big in-memory caches
  • cache many small entries with low overhead
  • add TTL-based expiration to a Java cache
  • benchmark off-heap cache performance

When to choose

  • you need a JVM cache that holds gigabytes without garbage collection overhead
  • you want per-entry TTL and LRU eviction in an off-heap store
  • you are on Java 8/11 with a 64-bit Oracle JVM

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained project - it is explicitly unmaintained
  • you need Windows support guarantees
  • you want a modern alternative like Caffeine with off-heap tiers
