No matter how I try to redesign the schema the indexes consume large amount of memory,
About 8KB per index.

Is there a way to invalidated this cache?
Is there a way to limit the amount of memory and use some kind of LRU/LFU algorithm to clean old cache?

+1. I am suspicious that the large number of indexes is the problem
here,even if the problem is not with book keeping associated with those indexes.
