cache/src/worker.rs

//! Background worker that watches over the cache.
//!
//! It cleans up old cache, updates statistics and optimizes the cache.
//! We allow losing some messages (it doesn't hurt) and some races,
//! but we guarantee eventual consistency and fault tolerancy.
//! Background tasks can be CPU intensive, but the worker thread has low priority.
