Hi, what is the eviction policy of task cache (like LRU etc)? Thanks

hi <@U0A0NCWFJBG> - you can customize this significantly but by default its a composite key of
• flow run ID
• parameters
• task source code

<@U02GMEZU18B> Thanks I was referring to the eviction policy while you mentioned the how the keys are calculated.. I did not find any refence to when the elements are deleted from the cache. Thanks

we don't delete from your blob/disk, the expiration just determines when the server stops looking for a result to load at that key
