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 It is explicitly no longer maintained.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
