Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for processing a cache. A candidate object is identified for updating. A fresh object corresponding to the candidate object is obtained if it is determined that a newer version of the candidate object is available. A destination buffer is selected from a group of primary and non-primary buffers based on an amount of available space in a primary buffer. The fresh object is stored in the destination buffer.
