Answer 1

You can configure a time-based expiration policy in Apache Ignite with eager TTL: Expiry Policies. This way objects will be eagerly expired from cache after a certain time.

Then you can subscribe a javax.cache.event.CacheEntryExpiredListener, which will be triggered after every expiration, and update the cache from that listener. However, it looks like there will be a small window when the entry will have been already expired from a cache and before you put and updated value into cache.

If the above window is not acceptable to you, then you can simply query all entries from a cache periodically and update all the entries that are older than a certain expiration time. In this case you would have to ensure that all entries have a timestamp filed, which will be indexed and used in SQL queries. Something like this:

SELECT * from SOME_TYPE where timestamp > 2;
