在上图中，按照LRU机制删除的话删除的顺序应该是C->A->B->D 其实这并不是我们想要的，因为B被访问的频率是最高的，而D被访问的频率比较低，所以我们更想让B保留，把D删除，所以我们接下来看另一种策略 LFU

**LFU（leastFrequently used 最不经常使用）**

如果一个数据在最近一段时间内很少被访问到，那么可以认为在将来他被访问到的概率也很小。所以，当空间满时，最小频率访问的数据最先被淘汰

Redis使用redisObject中的24bit lru字段来存储lfu字段， 这24bit被分为两部分：

1:高16位用来记录访问时间(单位为分钟) 

2:低8位用来记录访问频率，简称counter

 16 bits  8 bits
 
 +----------------+--------+
 
 Last decr time | LOG_C |

但是counter 8bit很容易就溢出了，技巧是用一个逻辑计数器，给予概率的对数计数器，而不是一个普通的递增计数器
```
uint8_t LFULogIncr(uint8_t counter) {
 if (counter == 255) return 255;
 double r = (double)rand()/RAND_MAX;
 double baseval = counter - LFU_INIT_VAL;
 if (baseval < 0) baseval = 0;
 double p = 1.0/(baseval*server.lfu_log_factor+1);
 if (r < p) counter++;
 return counter;
}
```

对应的概率分布计算公式为
```
1.0/((counter - LFU_INIT_VAL)*server.lfu_log_factor+1);
```
其中LFU_INIT_VAL为5，其实简单说就是，越大的数，递增的概率越低
严格按照LFU算法，时间越久的key，counter越有可能越大，被剔除的可能性就越小。counter只增长不衰减就无法区分热点key。为了解决这个问题，redis提供了衰减因子server.lfu_decay_time,其单位为分钟，计算方法也很简单，如果一个key长时间没有访问那么他的计数器counter就要减少，减少的值由衰减因子来控制
