* hits : How many hits the entry has
* timeout : The timeout in seconds
* lastAccessTimeout : The last access timeout in seconds
* created : When the entry was created
* lastAccessed : When the entry was last accessed
* key : The key used to cache it
* metadata : Any extra metadata stored with the entry
* isEternal : If the object has a timeout of 0
