/**
* Expected: If multiple threads try to retrieve the same key from a SelfPopulatingCache at the
* same time, and that key is not yet in the cache, one thread obtains the lock for that key and
* uses the CacheEntryFactory to generate the cache entry and all other threads wait on the lock.
* Any and all threads which timeout while waiting for this lock should fail to acquire the lock
* for that key and throw an exception.
*
* <p>This thread tests for this by having several threads to a cache "get" for the same key,
* allowing one to acquire the lock and the others to wait. The one that acquires the lock and
* attempts to generate the cache entry for the key waits for a period of time long enough to
* allow all other threads to timeout waiting for the lock. Any thread that succeeds in acquiring
* the lock, including the first to do so, increment a counter when they begin creating the cache
* entry using the CacheEntryFactory. It is expected that this counter will only be "1" after all
* threads complete since all but the first to acquire it should timeout and throw exceptions.
*
* <p>We then test that a thread that comes along later increments the counter.
