The
n.pae
is an in-memory cache of pending but not yet applied entries. When applying commits we can pull from this cache so we don't need to pull them from disk for example. However, the cache has a bounded size. So if the cache would be fully filled and we'd store a different entry at an index that was cached, we'd apply the wrong (cached) entry.If we get an entry that we can't cache because it's full, we can simply drop the entry from the cache if it exists. If an entry at this index doesn't exist it's a noop, but if it did exist then it clears up room in the cache for the next entries to be stored.
