Setting Metadata Ejection

Bucket ejection from memory is set with POST /pools/default/buckets/default HTTP method and URI.

HTTP method and URI

To set the metadata ejection policy, use the evictionPolicy parameter. Default: valueOnly

POST /pools/default/buckets/default

Value-only ejection (the default) removes the data from cache but keeps all keys and metadata fields for non-resident items. When the value bucket ejection occurs, the item’s value is reset. Full metadata ejection removes all data including keys, metadata, and key-values from cache for non-resident items. Full metadata ejection reduces RAM requirement for large buckets.
