   *    Setting to -1 disable the pruning (default). Setting to 0 will force
   *    pruning to occur.
   *  - The pruning expiration time indicates to the garbage collector how old
   *    an entry needs to be to be removed.
   *  - Finally, the garbage collector can be instructed to prune the cache till
   *    the occupied space goes below a threshold.
