+Subject: [PATCH] Sanitise RegionFileCache and make configurable.
+
+RegionFileCache prior to this patch would close every single open region
+file upon reaching a size of 256.
+This patch modifies that behaviour so it closes the the least recently
+used RegionFile.
+The implementation uses a LinkedHashMap as an LRU cache (modified from HashMap).
+The maximum size of the RegionFileCache is also made configurable.
