LRU Feature may be

[grizzly-monkey]

Can we have a feature of autodeleting record if its retrieved for X amount of time making free space for other objects to use the space ? something like LRU logic

I know it might be useful, but I'm not sure if it make sense add this feature to shards, because the original idea is to be compatible with ets, in other words: shards = ets + sharding support (out-of-box). Keeping that in mind, shards is as simple as ets, only provides the storage and solves the problem of lock contention to be able to scale-out. A feature like LRU sounds more like a Cache, and it can be implemented fairly easy using shards – either a local Cahe or a distributed one. So I think it would be nice to have another project, implementing those kind of features you mentioned, that would be a nice contrubution :)

Look, this is an existing Cache example (very simple and still WIP): Cacherl

Let me know your thoughts, stay tuned!

Thanks!!!
