The query compilation cache is a Map used to cache 
parsed query strings.  As a result, most queries are only parsed once in 
OpenJPA, and cached thereafter.  You can control the compilation cache through 
the 
openjpa.QueryCompilationCache configuration property.  This 
property accepts a plugin string (see Section 4, “
            Plugin Configuration
        ”)
describing the Map used to associate query strings and 
their parsed form.  This property accepts the following aliases:

true

org.apache.openjpa.util.CacheMap
						 | 
The default option.  Uses a 
 
CacheMap to store compilation data.  
CacheMap maintains a fixed number of cache entries, and an 
optional soft reference map for entries that are moved out of the LRU space. 
So, for applications that have a monotonically increasing number of distinct 
queries, this option can be used to ensure that a fixed amount of memory is 
used by the cache.

all | 
org.apache.openjpa.lib.util.ConcurrentHashMap
						 | This is the fastest option, but compilation data is never dropped from the cache, so if you use a large number of dynamic queries, this option may result in ever-increasing memory usage. Note that if your queries only differ in the values of the parameters, this should not be an issue. | 
false | none | Disables the compilation cache. |
