=== User Caches
When a user is loaded by id, username, or email queries it will be cached. When a user is cached, it iterates through
the entire `UserModel` interface and pulls this information to a local in-memory only cache. In a cluster, this cache
is still local, but it becomes an invalidation cache. When a user is modified, it is evicted. This eviction event
is propagated to the entire cluster so that other nodes' user cache is also invalidated.

This `CachedUserModel` interface allows you to evict the user from cache and get the provider `UserModel` instance.
The most interesting method is `getCachedWith()`. This returns a map that allows you to cache additional information
pertaining to the user. For example, credentials are not part of the `UserModel` interface. If you wanted to cache
credentials in memory, you would implement `OnUserCache` and cache your user's credentials using the `getCachedWith()`

=== Leveraging Java EE
The user storage providers can be packaged within any Java EE component so long as you set up the `META-INF/services`
file correctly to point to your providers. For example, if your provider needs to use third party libraries, you
can package up your provider within an ear and store these third pary libraries in the ear's `lib/` directory.

can use in a JBoss/Wildfly environment. See the JBoss/Wildfly documentation for more details on this file. It
