Implementation of Redis LRU and LFU Cache Eviction Algorithms

Redis implements approximate LRU and LFU eviction policies by sampling keys and using a compact 24‑bit field to store timestamps and counters, where LRU evicts the least recently accessed items and LFU evicts those with low, decay‑adjusted access frequency, each with trade‑offs for different workloads.
