[[MaxHSDirCacheBytes]] **MaxHSDirCacheBytes** __N__ **bytes**|**KBytes**|**MBytes**|**GBytes**::
This option configures a threshold of Hidden Service Directory memory
consumption above which your Tor relay will begin to prune the least-frequently
- accessed hidden service descriptors from the relay's HSDir cache. This pruning used
- to be done as part of MaxMemInQueues, but it has been decoupled to allow more
- fine-grained control of descriptor cache size under DDoS conditions. This
- option defaults to 20% of the MaxMemInQueues size, which itself defaults to
- an automatically determined value based on system memory. (Default: 20% MaxMemInQueues)
