> Currently the distributed cache will wait until a cache directory is above a
> preconfigured threshold. At which point it will delete all entries that are
> not currently being used. It seems like we would get far fewer cache misses
> if we kept some of them around, even when they are not being used. We should
> add in a configurable percentage for a goal of how much of the cache should
> remain clear when not in use, and select objects to delete based off of how
> recently they were used, and possibly also how large they are/how difficult
> is it to download them again.
