2.5. Stopping and Destroying the Cache

It is good practice to stop and destroy your cache when you are done using it, particularly if it is a clustered cache and has thus used a JGroups channel. Stopping and destroying a cache ensures resources like network sockets and maintenance threads are properly cleaned up.

   cache.stop();
   cache.destroy();

   cache.stop();
   cache.destroy();

Not also that a cache that has had stop() invoked on it can be started again with a new call to start() . Similarly, a cache that has had destroy() invoked on it can be created again with a new call to create() (and then started again with a start() call).
