Detailed explanation of the cache processing operation method implemented by Nodejs based on the LRU algorithm

function CacheLRU(capacity) {
/* 利用Buffer写的一个LRU缓存，capacity为缓存容量，为0时不限容量。
myCache = new CacheLRU(capacity); //构造缓存
myCache.get(key); //读取名为key的缓存值
myCache.put(key, value); //写入名为key的缓存值
myCache.remove(key); //删除名为key的缓存值
myCache.removeAll(); //清空缓存
myCache.info(); //返回myCache缓存信息
LRU原理：对所有缓存数据的key构建hash链表，当对某一数据进行get或put操作时，将其key提到链表前端（最新）。当进行put数据超出容量时，删除链表尾端（最旧）的缓存数据。
hash链表操作可直接定位key，无需历遍整个hash对象，故读写极快。缓存容量不再影响读写速度。
