> Some jobs needs to maintain as state a large set of key-values for some period of time.  I.e. they need to maintain a TTL cache of values potentially larger than memory. 
> Currently Kafka Streams provides non-windowed and windowed key-value stores.  Neither is an exact fit to this use case.  
> The {{RocksDBStore}}, a {{KeyValueStore}}, stores one value per key as required, but does not support expiration.  The TTL option of RocksDB is explicitly not used.
> The {{RocksDBWindowsStore}}, a {{WindowsStore}}, can expire items via segment dropping, but it stores multiple items per key, based on their timestamp.  But this store can be repurposed as a cache by fetching the items in reverse chronological order and returning the first item found.
> KAFKA-2594 introduced a fixed-capacity in-memory LRU caching store, but here we desire a variable-capacity memory-overflowing TTL caching store.
> Although {{RocksDBWindowsStore}} can be repurposed as a cache, it would be useful to have an official and proper TTL cache API and implementation.
