When the key is read from the data container, it's expired there and then, without acquiring any locks. There might be some local locks acquired, locally, at the underlying CHM segment, but varies depending on the CHM used underneath when deleting the entry from the inner container, but these won't affect other nodes. It would only affect concurrent threads on the same node that read the same key and concurrently try to expire the entry... > In > this case, if a concurrent entry retrieval occurred on some other node - > by the time that node got access to the lock, it would already have been > removed from the cache store, thus no local expiration notification > would be emitted from that node, correct? > > My concern is about any kind of auto-purging of expired cache store > entries within the cache store itself.

Hmmm, not sure I understand this fully, but let me have a go: the situation for entries expired in cache stores depends slighly on the cache store itself and does not rely on the in-memory level locking (unless cooperation within a transaction). Some, like the FCS, get some locks (locally) even for reading from store, so expiration will happen within those locks if an entry is requested that's expired. There is the risk for sure for an entry to be expired right at the cache store and never be loaded into memory, and hence no notifications being sent. But one thing is for sure: if the entry is in-memory, the notification will be sent, because the in-memory container is checked before going to the cache store, and no other concurrent expiration in cache store in another node will stop from in-memory expirations happening (unless I it's a bug).
