------------------------------------------------------------
It should be noted that a variable-capacity memory-overflowing TTL caching
store is semantically equivalent to a KTable that expires entries via a TTL.
Such a KTable may be a viable alternative or at least a useful additional
abstraction.

> Add a key-value store that is a TTL persistent cache

> Key: KAFKA-4212
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4212
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: streams
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0.1
> Reporter: Elias Levy
> Assignee: Guozhang Wang
>
> Some jobs needs to maintain as state a large set of key-values for some
> period of time. I.e. they need to maintain a TTL cache of values potentially
> larger than memory.
> Currently Kafka Streams provides non-windowed and windowed key-value stores.
> Neither is an exact fit to this use case.
> The {{RocksDBStore}}, a {{KeyValueStore}}, stores one value per key as
> required, but does not support expiration. The TTL option of RocksDB is
> explicitly not used.
> The {{RocksDBWindowsStore}}, a {{WindowsStore}}, can expire items via segment
> dropping, but it stores multiple items per key, based on their timestamp.
> But this store can be repurposed as a cache by fetching the items in reverse
> chronological order and returning the first item found.
> KAFKA-2594 introduced a fixed-capacity in-memory LRU caching store, but here
> we desire a variable-capacity memory-overflowing TTL caching store.
> Although {{RocksDBWindowsStore}} can be repurposed as a cache, it would be
> useful to have an official and proper TTL cache API and implementation.
