Eviction in regions can be configured to be triggered when a time or size threshold is reached. If you use maxNodes, then filling the region to more than maxNodes would trigger eviction events. If you use timeToLive, then when objects reach a certain age eviction events are triggered. If you use both, whichever is reached first will trigger the eviction event.
