Research direction

Begin with the Rails console example using ValueModel.fetch(1), then inspect the repository's existing cache documentation and public expiration behavior. Document the supported way to expire cached records manually, including the externally updated-record scenario, and verify that the example matches actual behavior.

Description

documentation

sometimes i want to expire(remove) cache manually. for example,

in rails console:
val = ValueModel.fetch(1)
(and log shows like that.. SQL: select * from value_model where id = 1 limit 1)

and this record is updated at other environment(ex: raw sql from DBMS)

then, use statement again in rails console.
val2 = ValueModel.fetch(1)
and then rails console shows, cache hit, and nothing changed.

in this situation, can i expire this cache manually?
