Service

All Known Subinterfaces:

CacheLoaderWriterProvider, CopyProvider, MaintainableService, PersistableResourceService, ResilienceStrategyProvider, SerializationProvider, WriteBehindProvider
```
public interface Service
```
A life-cycled service that supports cache functionality.
Implementation of this interface must be thread-safe.
Since CacheManagers can be closed and initialized again, Service implementations should support multiple start/stop cycles. Failure to do so will limit the init/close cycles at the CacheManager level.

- Method Detail
  - start
```
void start(ServiceProvider<Service> serviceProvider)
```
    Start this service using the provided configuration and ServiceProvider.
    The service provider allows a service to retrieve and use other services.
    A Service retrieved at this stage may not yet be started. The recommended usage pattern therefore, is to keep a reference to the dependent Service but use it only when specific methods are invoked on subtypes.
    
    Parameters:
    
    serviceProvider - the service provider
  - stop
```
void stop()
```
    Stops this service.
