Command: Edelete

Deletes an ephemeral key/value. The key is ignored if it doesn't exist.

eset `cache_server_dev` '10.1.1.22:9090'
r0 set 9ms

edelete `cache_server_dev`
r1 deleted 12ms

eset `cache_server_dev` '10.1.1.24:9090'
r2 set 9ms

Notes

Keep in mind that ephemeral keys, when removed, are only marked as deleted, but they are not immediately cleared from memory. They are fully evicted only when the eviction process runs.

The delete tombstone is its own revision. This behavior allows the system to retain the revision history temporarily, which can be useful for consistency checks, conflict resolution, or short-term auditing before the memory is reclaimed.
