Could you please help understand the DEBUG option for CacheManager to instigate eviction?

Cache manager evict buckets when

(i) the total disk utilized by WARM and Cold Buckets exceeds max_cache_size

(ii)The current free space for partition falls below eviction_padding+minFreeSpace

max_cache_size Specifies the maximum space, in megabytes, per partition, that the cache can occupy on disk. If this value is exceeded, the cache manager starts evicting buckets.

If max_cache_size=0 it means this feature is not used, and has no maximum size, in this case, the eviction will happen when the $SPLUNK_DB partition's free space drops below eviction_padding+minFreeSpace.

The total cache usage is calculated by the Cache manager as the sum of all NONE hot buckets size.

When $SPLUNK_HOME and $SPLUNK_DB are on different partitions, assuming all of the caches in $SPLUNK_DB will account for disk spaces in that partitions only.
