Review Comment:
   It's using Guava in this case but it works the same as Caffeine. (I plan to 
create a follow on issue to replace Guava cache with Caffeine everywhere for 
consistency).
   
   In regards to your question the Cache won't return null. Yes the garbage 
collector will collect the ClassLoader if there are no more classes using it 
but the cache guarantees to not return null in that case. If the cache is hit 
the value is 
[checked](https://github.com/google/guava/blob/master/guava/src/com/google/common/cache/LocalCache.java#L2143)
 for null first and if it's null due to having been cleaned up then the Cache 
will call the compute function to create a new class loader and cache it before 
returning. 
   
   So even if the GC cleaned up the reference you won't get null back, it will 
just create a brand new ClassLoader instead. The only way it would be null is 
if the function that computes the value returns null which won't be the case 
here. I need to double check but I believe if the compute function throws an 
Exception it will propagate back up as a runtime exception so it still wouldn't 
be null but an exception would be seen. 
   
   Also, keys will be [cleaned 
up](https://github.com/google/guava/blob/master/guava/src/com/google/common/cache/LocalCache.java#L2477)
 as well during the clean up/maintenance phase. The cache periodically runs 
clean up tasks and one of the things that it will do is clean up keys for 
entries that had their values removed due to being a weak/soft reference.
