Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	clear() Removes all entries in the container
boolean	containsKey(Object k) Tests whether an entry exists in the container
Set<InternalCacheEntry>	entrySet() Returns a mutable set of immutable cache entries exposed as immutable Map.Entry instances.
InternalCacheEntry	get(Object k) Retrieves a cached entry
Set<Object>	keySet() Returns a set of keys in the container.
InternalCacheEntry	peek(Object k) Retrieves a cache entry in the same way as get(Object)} except that it does not update or reorder any of the internal constructs.
void	purgeExpired() Purges entries that have passed their expiry time
void	put(Object k, Object v, Metadata metadata) Puts an entry in the cache along with metadata adding information such lifespan of entry, max idle time, version information...etc.

iterator

Method Detail

get

InternalCacheEntry get(Object k)

Retrieves a cached entry

Parameters:

k - key under which entry is stored

Returns:

entry, if it exists and has not expired, or null if not

peek

InternalCacheEntry peek(Object k)

Retrieves a cache entry in the same way as get(Object)} except that it does not update or reorder any of the internal constructs. I.e., expiration does not happen, and in the case of the LRU container, the entry is not moved to the end of the chain. This method should be used instead of get(Object)} when called while iterating through the data container using methods like keySet() to avoid changing the underlying collection's order.

Parameters:

k - key under which entry is stored

Returns:

entry, if it exists, or null if not

put

void put(Object k,
       Object v,
       Metadata metadata)

Puts an entry in the cache along with metadata adding information such lifespan of entry, max idle time, version information...etc.

Parameters:

k - key under which to store entry

v - value to store

metadata - metadata of the entry

containsKey

boolean containsKey(Object k)

Tests whether an entry exists in the container

Parameters:

k - key to test

Returns:

true if entry exists and has not expired; false otherwise

remove

InternalCacheEntry remove(Object k)

Removes an entry from the cache

Parameters:

k - key to remove

Returns:

entry removed, or null if it didn't exist or had expired

size

int size()

Returns:

count of the number of entries in the container

clear

void clear()

Removes all entries in the container

keySet

Set<Object> keySet()

Returns a set of keys in the container. When iterating through the container using this method, clients should never call #get() method but instead #peek(), in order to avoid changing the order of the underlying collection as a side of effect of iterating through it.

Returns:

a set of keys

values

Collection<Object> values()

Returns:

a set of values contained in the container

entrySet

Set<InternalCacheEntry> entrySet()

Returns a mutable set of immutable cache entries exposed as immutable Map.Entry instances. Clients of this method such as Cache.entrySet() operation implementors are free to convert the set into an immutable set if needed, which is the most common use case. If a client needs to iterate through a mutable set of mutable cache entries, it should iterate the container itself rather than iterating through the return of entrySet().

Returns:

a set of immutable cache entries

purgeExpired

void purgeExpired()

Purges entries that have passed their expiry time
