Owen Tran commented on ISPN-670:
--------------------------------

Needs to be able to pass the 1st test of a mortal entry that should be evicted to bring the size back down to 128.

    public void testEvictionMaxEntries() throws Exception {
        int maxEntries = 128;
        Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
        configuration.setEvictionStrategy(EvictionStrategy.LIRS);
        configuration.setEvictionThreadPolicy(EvictionThreadPolicy.PIGGYBACK);
        configuration.setEvictionWakeUpInterval(100);
        configuration.setEvictionMaxEntries(maxEntries);
        EmbeddedCacheManager manager = new DefaultCacheManager(configuration);
        Cache<String, String> cache = manager.getCache();
        for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
          cache.put("key-" + (i + 1), "value-" + (i + 1), 1, TimeUnit.MINUTES);
        }
        Thread.sleep(1000); // sleep long enough to allow the thread to wake-up
        assertTrue("cache size too big: " + cache.size(), maxEntries > cache.size());
    }

    public void testExpirationMaxIdle() throws Exception {
        int maxEntries = 128;
        Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
        configuration.setEvictionStrategy(EvictionStrategy.LIRS);
        configuration.setEvictionThreadPolicy(EvictionThreadPolicy.PIGGYBACK);
        configuration.setEvictionWakeUpInterval(100);
        configuration.setEvictionMaxEntries(maxEntries);
        configuration.setExpirationMaxIdle(100);
        EmbeddedCacheManager manager = new DefaultCacheManager(configuration);
        Cache<String, String> cache = manager.getCache();
        for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
          cache.put("key-" + (i + 1), "value-" + (i + 1), 1, TimeUnit.MINUTES);
        }
        Thread.sleep(1000); // sleep long enough to allow the thread to wake-up
        assertEquals(0, cache.size());
    }

>             Project: Infinispan
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Eviction
>    Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Final, 4.2.0.ALPHA2
>            Reporter: Vladimir Blagojevic

> There was a subtle change of eviction semantics starting with 4.1 where only immortal entries are considered as eviction candidates. By default all entries are immortal, that is, their expiration and lifespan are -1. As soon as mortal entries are used (expiration !=-1 || lifespan !=-1) they are not subject to eviction policies and container size can grow above limit specified in maxEntries.
> This policy is confusing and it does not make a lot of sense. All candidates, both mortal and immortal should be considered as eviction candidates and as such subject to eviction.
