Warm caches stop cold-start spikes and prevent stampedes. Correct invalidation prevents stale or cross-index answers. Use this page to design keys, warmup order, and safe evictions for RAG and agent pipelines.

## When to use
- After index rebuilds or alias flips.
- When prompts, models, rerankers, or analyzers change.
- If first calls after deploy are slow or inconsistent.
- If users see stale citations or mixed-arm results.
- If retry storms or thundering herd appear under load.
---
## Acceptance targets
- First production call warms within 5 minutes of release.
- ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 on three paraphrases after warmup.
- Coverage ≥ 0.70 to the target section.
- λ convergent across two seeds with warmed headers.
- Duplicate side effects = 0 during warmup window.
---
## 60-second warmup plan
1) **Partition the cache by version**
Include these in every cache key: `INDEX_HASH`, `PROMPT_VER`, `MODEL_VER`, `RERANK_CONF`, and optionally `TENANT_ID`, `LOCALE`.
See: [version_pinning_and_model_lock.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/OpsDeploy/version_pinning_and_model_lock.md)
2) **Prime the hot paths**
Run a 2040 item gold set to fill retrieval and rerank caches. Verify citations and offsets.
See: [retrieval-traceability.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md)
3) **Enable single-flight**
Coalesce identical misses so only one worker computes each key. Stampede protection is mandatory.
4) **Set layered TTLs**
Short TTL for query→top-k, slightly longer for rerank→final set, shortest for negative cache. Use jitter.
5) **Wire safe evictions**
Do not scan and delete. Flip namespace by changing the versioned prefix. Old space dies out naturally.
---
## Key design: scope and structure
- **Two-level cache**
L1: query normalization → candidate ids.
L2: candidate ids → ranked snippets with citation fields.
- **Key template**
```
L1: q:{hash(query\_norm)}:{INDEX\_HASH}:{PROMPT\_VER}:{RERANK\_CONF}
L2: r:{hash(candidates)}:{INDEX\_HASH}:{PROMPT\_VER}:{RERANK\_CONF}
````
If locale, tokenizer, or analyzer can change results, add `LOCALE`, `TOK_VER`, `ANALYZER_CONF`.
- **What never to cache**
Tool call side effects or write steps. Use idempotency fences.
See: [idempotency_dedupe.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/OpsDeploy/idempotency_dedupe.md)
---
## Invalidation strategy
- **Prefer namespace rotation over delete**
Keys carry the current `INDEX_HASH` and `PROMPT_VER`. A swap creates a new namespace. Old keys expire on TTL.
- **Trigger list that must rotate namespace**
- Index alias flips or index rebuilds.
- Prompt pack changes or header reordering.
- Reranker cutoff or model version changes.
- Analyzer or tokenizer changes.
- **Negative cache discipline**
Cache misses for a short time only. TTL 1030 seconds with jitter to avoid synchronized expiry.
- **Per-tenant isolation**
If tenants use different corpora or flags, put `TENANT_ID` into the key prefix. Never share warmed entries across tenants.
---
## Warmup ordering
1) Secrets and boot order pass.
See: [bootstrap-ordering.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/bootstrap-ordering.md)
2) Retriever reports `INDEX_HASH` ready.
3) Run the gold set to fill L1 and L2.
4) Prime common user queries and help topics.
5) Verify ΔS, coverage, λ on warmed paths.
6) Open canary at 5 percent.
See: [staged_rollout_canary.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/OpsDeploy/staged_rollout_canary.md)
---
## Stampede control
- **Single-flight lock** for each key with a short lease.
- **Request collapsing** by query hash.
- **Backoff and queueing** on provider 429/5xx.
- **Circuit breakers** for downstream stores.
---
## Store-specific notes
- **Redis**
Avoid `SCAN DEL`. Use versioned prefixes. For atomic set-if-absent plus short lock, use `SET key val NX PX=ms`.
- **CDN or edge**
Only cache read-only pages. For dynamic RAG responses, keep cache at app or Redis with versioned keys.
- **Vector result caches**
Key by `INDEX_HASH` and metric. If metric or normalization changes, treat as a new namespace.
See: [metric_mismatch.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/Embeddings/metric_mismatch.md), [normalization_and_scaling.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/Embeddings/normalization_and_scaling.md)
- **Fragmented stores**
If hit distributions vary wildly across partitions, caching will mask deeper issues. Fix the store first.
See: [pattern_vectorstore_fragmentation.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_vectorstore_fragmentation.md)
---
## Example: single-flight and versioned key (pseudo)
```python
ver = f"{INDEX_HASH}:{PROMPT_VER}:{RERANK_CONF}"
k1 = f"q:{hash(query_norm)}:{ver}"
if redis.set(f"lock:{k1}", "1", nx=True, px=3000):
try:
val = compute_topk(query_norm)
ttl = jitter(60, 15) # 60s ±15%
redis.set(k1, serialize(val), ex=ttl)
finally:
redis.delete(f"lock:{k1}")
else:
sleep(0.05); val = redis.get(k1) or wait_poll(k1)
return val
````

## Observability fields to log
* Version pins: `INDEX_HASH`, `PROMPT_VER`, `MODEL_VER`, `RERANK_CONF`, `TOK_VER`, `ANALYZER_CONF`.
* Cache events: hit, miss, fill time, lock wait, evict reason.
* Quality: ΔS(question, retrieved), ΔS(retrieved, anchor), coverage, λ states.
* Latency p50 and p95 for retrieve, rerank, reason.
---
## Common pitfalls
* Deleting keys in place which causes long stalls. Rotate namespace instead.
* Mixed caches across regions or tenants. Prefix by region and `TENANT_ID`.
* Cache keys without `INDEX_HASH`, leading to stale blends after a swap.
* Negative cache with long TTL, causing false “no answer” pockets.
* Warming only L1 but not L2, so reranker work still stampedes.
