Summary:
This PR implements cache eviction using reinforcement learning. It includes two implementations:
1. An implementation of Thompson Sampling for the Bernoulli Bandit [1].
2. An implementation of LinUCB with disjoint linear models [2].
The idea is that a cache uses multiple eviction policies, e.g., MRU, LRU, and LFU. The cache learns which eviction policy is the best and uses it upon a cache miss.
Thompson Sampling is contextless and does not include any features.
LinUCB includes features such as level, block type, caller, column family id to decide which eviction policy to use.
