Class SerializationPagedCache

All Implemented Interfaces:
ObservableMap, Map

public class SerializationPagedCache extends AbstractSerializationCache
A version of SerializationMap that implements an LRU policy using time-based paging of the cache. This implementation uses a BinaryStoreManager to create a current BinaryStore which is used to store all objects being placed into the cache. Once the specified "current" time period has elapsed, a new current BinaryStore is created, and the previously current page is closed, which means that it will no longer be used to store objects that are being placed into the cache. This continues until the total number of pages (the one current plus all of the previously current pages) exceeds the maximum number of pages defined for the cache. When that happens, the oldest page is evicted, triggering the related events, and the BinaryStore for that page is destroyed. Note that cache items can be accessed out of and removed from closed pages, but cache items are never written to closed pages.

To avoid a massive number of simultaneous events, the eviction of a closed page can be performed asynchronously on a daemon thread.

    • isVirtualErase

      public boolean isVirtualErase()
      Determine if BinaryStore erase commands will be done only in memory (to the cached list of keys) and not passsed to the underlying BinaryStore, thus improving performance and cutting I/O, but potentially wasting disk space (or whatever resource the paged data are stored on.)
      Returns:
      true if the erase should not go to the underlying store, but simply remove the key from the cached list of keys managed by that store

      Specify whether BinaryStore erase commands will be done only in memory to the cached list of keys.
      Parameters:
      fVirtualErase - true if the erase should not go to the underlying store, but simply remove the key from the cached list of keys managed by that store; false to pass all erase requests down to the underlying store
    • getLockDelaySeconds

      public int getLockDelaySeconds()

      the number of seconds to wait for a lock
    • setLockDelaySeconds

      public void setLockDelaySeconds(int cSecondsLockDelay)
      Specify the number of seconds to wait for a lock in debug mode. This is only applicable to debug mode; in normal mode, a lock is queued for indefinitely.

      This will not take effect until the next lock is requested and unless debug mode is turned on.

      Parameters:
      cSecondsLockDelay - the number of seconds to wait for a lock

      protected long getCurrentPageTime()
      Determine the time that the current page was created.
      Returns:
      the time that the current page was created or 0L if no page has been created yet
    • getPageAdvanceTime

      protected long getPageAdvanceTime()
      Determine the time that the next page should be created. If the time returned from this method is in the past, then the implication is that a new page should be created to replace the current page.
      Returns:
      the time that the next page should be created or 0L if no page has been created yet
    • isPassivePagedBackup

      public boolean isPassivePagedBackup()
      Determine if this is just a passive backup for a paged cache.
      Returns:
      true if this cache has been configured as a backup for a paged cache
    • setPassivePagedBackup

      protected void setPassivePagedBackup(boolean fPassiveBackup)
      Specify whether this is just a passive backup for a paged cache. A backup will not deactivate pages on its own, but simply waits for pages to empty and then destroys them as soon as they empty.
      Parameters:
      fPassiveBackup - true if this cache is just a backup for a paged cache
    • isAsynchronousPageDeactivation

      public boolean isAsynchronousPageDeactivation()
      Determine if a daemon should evict the items from a deactivated page to avoid blocking other work from being done.
      Returns:
      true if a daemon should be used for page deactivation
    • setAsynchronousPageDeactivation

      public void setAsynchronousPageDeactivation(boolean fAsync)
      Specify whether a daemon should evict the items from a deactivated page to avoid blocking other work from being done. The deactivation of a page involves evicting every entry from that page, so with a large page of data, it is possible that the cache would be "frozen" for a period of time while the entries are evicted (events being generated, etc.)

      This will not take effect until the next page is deactivated.

      Parameters:
      fAsync - pass true to specify that a daemon should be used for page deactivation, or false to block all other threads while a page is fully deactivated
    • isDebug

      public static boolean isDebug()
      Determine the status of the internal debug flag.
      Returns:
      true if the cache is in debug mode, false otherwise
    • setDebug

      public static void setDebug(boolean fDebug)
      Set the status of the internal debug flag.
      Parameters:
      fDebug - true to set the cache into debug mode, false to set it into normal runtime mode
    • lockInternal

      protected void lockInternal(Object oKey)
      Obtain a lock for the specified key.
      Parameters:
      oKey - the key to lock
    • lockInternalNoWait

      protected boolean lockInternalNoWait(Object oKey)
      Obtain a lock for the specified key, but only if no other thread has the lock at the point in time that this method is invoked.
      Parameters:
      oKey - the key to lock
      Returns:
      true if the lock was available and the key is now locked by this thread; false otherwise
    • unlockInternal

      protected void unlockInternal(Object oKey)
      Release the lock on the specified key.
      Parameters:
      oKey - the key to unlock

      Destroy and unregister a BinaryStore object that was previously created using this cache's BinaryStoreManager by the createBinaryStore method.
      Parameters:
      store - a BinaryStore returned previously from createBinaryStore
    • checkPage

      protected void checkPage()
      Determine if the time has come to set up a new page for storing current cache data. This potentially destroys the oldest page, if the maximum number of active pages has been reached.
    • advancePage

      protected void advancePage()
      Advance to a new current page, and deactivate the oldest page is the maximum number of active pages has been reached.

      Parameters:
      task - the Runnable object to run on a separate thread
    • deactivatePage

      protected void deactivatePage(SerializationPagedCache.WrapperBinaryStore store)
      Deactivate a page that is no longer active. This means expiring any remaining entries on that page. By splitting this method out, it makes it easier for sub-classes to provide this functionality in an asynchronous manner.
