Least Recently Used (LRU) Eviction Strategy about cachetower

[prat0088]

That would be fantastic. LRU and bounded size are two requirements for my usage scenario.

Might be worth investigating with or comparing against (when the time comes) this .NET caching solution which uses a LRU strategy: https://github.com/bitfaster/BitFaster.Caching

This is something we are looking for in our team. It would be excellent to have this implemented

Thanks for your feedback - it won't make the next release (coming in the next few days) but it is definitely something I'm looking into!

An interesting LFU cache implementation: https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love/blob/master/caching/a-constant-algorithm-for-implementing-the-lfu-cache-eviction-scheme.pdf

Not sure how applicable it is to this given its a LFU not an LRU plus it is a storage mechanism, not an eviction strategy. There still might be some useful pieces of information to extract from it.
