* `restore-keys` - An ordered list of keys to use for restoring stale cache if no cache hit occurred for key. Note
`cache-hit` returns false in this case.
#### Environment Variables
* `SEGMENT_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT_MIN` - Segment download timeout (in minutes, default `60`) to abort download of the segment if not completed in the defined number of minutes. [Read more](#cache-segment-restore-timeout)
### Outputs
* `cache-hit` - A boolean value to indicate an exact match was found for the key
A cache gets downloaded in multiple segments of fixed sizes (`1GB` for a `32-bit` runner and `2GB` for a `64-bit` runner). Sometimes, a segment download gets stuck which causes the workflow job to be stuck forever and fail. Version `v3.0.8` of `actions/cache` introduces a segment download timeout. The segment download timeout will allow the segment download to get aborted and hence allow the job to proceed with a cache miss.
Default value of this timeout is 60 minutes and can be customized by specifying an [environment variable](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/environment-variables) named `SEGMENT_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT_MINS` with timeout value in minutes.
