    Description copied from interface: RetentionPolicy
    
    If this applies to the current cache. While this is true, the RetentionPolicy.retain(Object, Object) method will be applied to each element of the cache. When false, this policy will be skipped.
    E.g. for a cache that limits the number of cached items, there is no reason to check every item in the cache directly if the cache size is below a certain threshold.
