Aerospike Database 7.1 introduces a new feature that significantly boosts the performance of least recently used (LRU) caches by reducing unnecessary writes on every read. This enhancement allows users to configure their namespace so that the read will asynchronously trigger a touch operation when the remaining TTL reaches a desired threshold, without holding back the read transaction due to replication delay. The feature can be configured at both the server and client sides, providing users with various levels of control over the touch trigger implementation.
