Define a Maximum Cache Size + Policies (LRU, TTL, etc) #20

Closed dmoliveira closed 7 years ago

dmoliveira commented 7 years ago

Limit the cache size.

Add to Memoize an option for maximum cache size
Implement LRU, TTL, among other policies.

Memoize.jl currently supports specifying the type of associative to use for memoization, so you can just pass in an associative that implements these caching strategies (e.g. https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/examples/lru.jl). To allow specifying size, it might be useful to support specifying an instance of the associative instead of the type.

Hi @simonster. Ok, that is great :) It was not clear that we could extend the original cache with strategies like that. We could improve the documentation putting some nice examples. If I have time I'll try to do a PR for this. I'll close this issue now.
