Last question regarding entry of cache with same key, will the key be overwritten or as in FIFO, pushed backward?

Last question regarding entry of cache with same key e.g. Set(k,v), will the key be

1. deleted first and then added
   or
2. as in FIFO, pushed backwards?

if it's 1, i'll leave it as it is.
if it's 2, i would manually use Del(k) first because i want my other old entries to be Get(k) and not evicted when overpopulated.

All the new entries, including entries with the existing key, are added into circular byte buffer, so it is close to 2. Del(k) won't help, since it doesn't free up space in the circular byte buffer - it just removes k => <offset in the circular buffer> mapping.
