Abstract

In an embodiment, a plurality of keys are evicted from a first cache at a primary server. A first key is evicted from the first cache because the first key satisfied a first evict policy during a first time range. A second key is evicted from the first cache because the second key satisfied the first evict policy during a second time range, but the second key did not satisfy the first evict policy during the first time range. The plurality of keys are added to a batch file. If the batch file is full, the batch file is sent to a replica server, and the batch file requests the replica server to evict the plurality of keys from a second cache at the replica server. If the batch file is not full, the batch file is not sent to the replica server.
