No. This is only required if memory is maxed out and there is no more room to cache your entry. Otherwise you are risking cache misses by evicting entries that are still relatively hot. | ||

The cache isn't the only hot thing here. Relax. | ||

> Non-sequitur,and imaterial to the discussion. You said: > The whole point of a TTL is to be able to tell whether a cache entry is still fresh or it is stale and must be revalidated. So I responded to it. I don't really understand why you think that's nonsequiter. > No. I'm a bit confused. We're not using TTLs and we're not evicting things when they become invalid. What is your suggestion? | ||
