 /**
  * A cache of {@link SyncFuture}s. This class supports two methods
- * {@link SyncFutureCache#getIfPresentOrNew()} and {@link SyncFutureCache#offer()}. Usage pattern:
- * SyncFuture sf = syncFutureCache.getIfPresentOrNew(); sf.reset(...); // Use the sync future
- * finally: syncFutureCache.offer(sf); Offering the sync future back to the cache makes it eligible
- * for reuse within the same thread context. Cache keyed by the accessing thread instance and
- * automatically invalidated if it remains unused for
- * {@link SyncFutureCache#SYNC_FUTURE_INVALIDATION_TIMEOUT_MINS} minutes.
+ * {@link SyncFutureCache#getIfPresentOrNew()} and {@link SyncFutureCache#offer(SyncFuture)}}.
