How do I freshen the TTL of already inserted entry?

[vi]

How do I prevent actively used TtlCache entry from being expired and run its Drop::drop?

Update: looks like remove + insert works. Maybe explicit cache.refresh(&key) would be more readable?

I've been using remove + insert but refresh would be a good addition. I'll add that.

I was curious about this too; if you do remove can't this cause callers to have a cache miss until your insert logic finishes? Maybe this is ok if there's a RwLock surrounding.

Alternatively, can there be a way to bump the ttl value by a potentially new set amount? This way you can do get_mut and update your cache entry if needed, and just extend the ttl rather than full remove/insert. (Maybe this is what you had in mind above.)

Edit: Sorry I wasn't really using my brain. It's just a map so I can just insert again with my updated ttl.
