In your eviction configuration, you can set the "EvictionPolicyClass" and define what the method does: | public abstract class BaseEvictionPolicy implements EvictionPolicy { | | /** | * Evict the node under given Fqn from cache. | * | * @param fqn The fqn of a node in cache. | * @throws Exception | */ | public void evict(Fqn fqn) throws Exception | { | cache_.evict(fqn, false); | } | You could override this method to "remove" the data instead. Maybe there should be a flag as you suggest? If you can create a good patch and test case, generate a JIRA issue and attach the patch.
