Class DefaultCache<K,V>

java.lang.Object
  org.jivesoftware.util.cache.DefaultCache<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Map<K,V>, Cache<K,V>

public class DefaultCache<K,V>
extends Object
implements Cache<K,V>

Default, non-distributed implementation of the Cache interface. The algorithm for cache is as follows: a HashMap is maintained for fast object lookup. Two linked lists are maintained: one keeps objects in the order they are accessed from cache, the other keeps objects in the order they were originally added to cache. When objects are added to cache, they are first wrapped by a CacheObject which maintains the following pieces of information:

• The size of the object (in bytes).
• A pointer to the node in the linked list that maintains accessed order for the object. Keeping a reference to the node lets us avoid linear scans of the linked list.
• A pointer to the node in the linked list that maintains the age of the object in cache. Keeping a reference to the node lets us avoid linear scans of the linked list.

To get an object from cache, a hash lookup is performed to get a reference to the CacheObject that wraps the real object we are looking for. The object is subsequently moved to the front of the accessed linked list and any necessary cache cleanups are performed. Cache deletion and expiration is performed as needed.

Field Detail

map

protected Map<K,org.jivesoftware.util.cache.DefaultCache.CacheObject<V>> map

The map the keys and values are stored in.

lastAccessedList

protected LinkedList<K> lastAccessedList

Linked list to maintain order that cache objects are accessed in, most used to least used.

ageList

protected LinkedList<K> ageList

Linked list to maintain time that cache objects were initially added to the cache, most recently added to oldest added.

maxLifetime

protected long maxLifetime

Maximum length of time objects can exist in cache before expiring.

cacheHits

protected long cacheHits

Maintain the number of cache hits and misses. A cache hit occurs every time the get method is called and the cache contains the requested object. A cache miss represents the opposite occurence.

Keeping track of cache hits and misses lets one measure how efficient the cache is; the higher the percentage of hits, the more efficient.

cacheMisses

protected long cacheMisses

Maintain the number of cache hits and misses. A cache hit occurs every time the get method is called and the cache contains the requested object. A cache miss represents the opposite occurence.

Keeping track of cache hits and misses lets one measure how efficient the cache is; the higher the percentage of hits, the more efficient.

Constructor Detail

DefaultCache

public DefaultCache(String name,
                    long maxSize,
                    long maxLifetime)

Create a new default cache and specify the maximum size of for the cache in bytes, and the maximum lifetime of objects.

Parameters:

name - a name for the cache.

maxSize - the maximum size of the cache in bytes. -1 means the cache has no max size.

maxLifetime - the maximum amount of time objects can exist in cache before being deleted. -1 means objects never expire.

Method Detail

             V value)

Specified by:

put in interface Map<K,V>

get

public V get(Object key)

Specified by:

Specified by:

getCacheMisses in interface Cache<K,V>

getCacheSize

public int getCacheSize()

Returns the size of the cache contents in bytes. This value is only a rough approximation, so cache users should expect that actual VM memory used by the cache could be significantly higher than the value reported by this method.

Specified by:

getCacheSize in interface Cache<K,V>

Returns:

the size of the cache contents in bytes.

getMaxCacheSize

public long getMaxCacheSize()

Returns the maximum size of the cache (in bytes). If the cache grows larger than the max size, the least frequently used items will be removed. If the max cache size is set to -1, there is no size limit.

Specified by:

getMaxCacheSize in interface Cache<K,V>

Returns:

the maximum size of the cache (-1 indicates unlimited max size).

setMaxCacheSize

public void setMaxCacheSize(int maxCacheSize)

Sets the maximum size of the cache. If the cache grows larger than the max size, the least frequently used items will be removed. If the max cache size is set to -1, there is no size limit.

Specified by:

setMaxCacheSize in interface Cache<K,V>

Parameters:

maxCacheSize - the maximum size of this cache (-1 indicates unlimited max size).

getMaxLifetime

public long getMaxLifetime()

Returns the maximum number of milleseconds that any object can live in cache. Once the specified number of milleseconds passes, the object will be automatically expried from cache. If the max lifetime is set to -1, then objects never expire.

Specified by:

getMaxLifetime in interface Cache<K,V>

Returns:

the maximum number of milleseconds before objects are expired.

setMaxLifetime

public void setMaxLifetime(long maxLifetime)

Sets the maximum number of milleseconds that any object can live in cache. Once the specified number of milleseconds passes, the object will be automatically expried from cache. If the max lifetime is set to -1, then objects never expire.

Parameters:

maxLifetime - the maximum number of milleseconds before objects are expired.

deleteExpiredEntries

protected void deleteExpiredEntries()

Clears all entries out of cache where the entries are older than the maximum defined age.

cullCache

protected final void cullCache()

Removes objects from cache if the cache is too full. "Too full" is defined as within 3% of the maximum cache size. Whenever the cache is is too big, the least frequently used elements are deleted until the cache is at least 10% empty.
