EvictAsync Method

EvictAsync(TKey)

Evicts the specified key from the map.

Declaration

Task<bool> EvictAsync(TKey key)

Parameters

TKey

key

The key.

Returns

Task<bool>

true if the entry was evicted; otherwise false.

Remarks

If a MapStore on server is defined for this map, then the entry is not deleted from the underlying MapStore, evict only removes the entry from the memory. Use DeleteAsync(TKey) or GetAndRemoveAsync(TKey) if MapStore.delete(object) needs to be called.

This method uses GetHashCode and Equals of binary form of the key, not the actual implementations of GetHashCode and Equals defined in key's class.
