/**
 * A semi-persistent mapping from keys to values. Cache entries are manually added using {@link
 * #get(Object, Callable)} or {@link #put(Object, Object)}, and are stored in the cache until either
 * evicted or manually invalidated. The common way to build instances is using {@link CacheBuilder}.
 *
 * 

Implementations of this interface are expected to be thread-safe, and can be safely accessed * by multiple concurrent threads. * * @author Charles Fry * @since 10.0 */ @DoNotMock("Use CacheBuilder.newBuilder().build()") @GwtCompatible public interface Cache { /** * Returns the value associated with {@code key} in this cache, or {@code null} if there is no * cached value for {@code key}. * * @since 11.0 */ @NullableDecl V getIfPresent(@CompatibleWith("K") Object key); /** * Returns the value associated with {@code key} in this cache, obtaining that value from {@code * loader} if necessary. The method improves upon the conventional "if cached, return; otherwise * create, cache and return" pattern. For further improvements, use {@link LoadingCache} and its * {@link LoadingCache#get(Object) get(K)} method instead of this one. * *

Among the improvements that this method and {@code LoadingCache.get(K)} both provide are: * *

    *
  • {@linkplain LoadingCache#get(Object) awaiting the result of a pending load} rather than * starting a redundant one *
  • eliminating the error-prone caching boilerplate *
  • tracking load {@linkplain #stats statistics} *
* *

Among the further improvements that {@code LoadingCache} can provide but this method cannot: * *

    *
  • consolidation of the loader logic to {@linkplain CacheBuilder#build(CacheLoader) a single * authoritative location} *
  • {@linkplain LoadingCache#refresh refreshing of entries}, including {@linkplain * CacheBuilder#refreshAfterWrite automated refreshing} *
  • {@linkplain LoadingCache#getAll bulk loading requests}, including {@linkplain * CacheLoader#loadAll bulk loading implementations} *
* *

Warning: For any given key, every {@code loader} used with it should compute the same * value. Otherwise, a call that passes one {@code loader} may return the result of another call * with a differently behaving {@code loader}. For example, a call that requests a short timeout * for an RPC may wait for a similar call that requests a long timeout, or a call by an * unprivileged user may return a resource accessible only to a privileged user making a similar * call. To prevent this problem, create a key object that includes all values that affect the * result of the query. Or use {@code LoadingCache.get(K)}, which lacks the ability to refer to * state other than that in the key. * *

Warning: as with {@link CacheLoader#load}, {@code loader} must not return * {@code null}; it may either return a non-null value or throw an exception. * *

No observable state associated with this cache is modified until loading completes. * * @throws ExecutionException if a checked exception was thrown while loading the value * @throws UncheckedExecutionException if an unchecked exception was thrown while loading the * value * @throws ExecutionError if an error was thrown while loading the value * @since 11.0 */ V get(K key, Callable loader) throws ExecutionException; /** * Returns a map of the values associated with {@code keys} in this cache.

If the cache previously contained a * value associated with {@code key}, the old value is replaced by {@code value}. * *

Prefer {@link #get(Object, Callable)} when using the conventional "if cached, return; * otherwise create, cache and return" pattern. * * @since 11.0 */ void put(K key, V value); /** * Copies all of the mappings from the specified map to the cache. The effect of this call is * equivalent to that of calling {@code put(k, v)} on this map once for each mapping from key * {@code k} to value {@code v} in the specified map. The behavior of this operation is undefined * if the specified map is modified while the operation is in progress. * * @since 12.0 */ void putAll(Map m); /** Discards any cached value for key {@code key}. */ void invalidate(@CompatibleWith("K") Object key); /** * Discards any cached values for keys {@code keys}. * * @since 11.0 */ void invalidateAll(Iterable keys); /** Discards all entries in the cache. */ void invalidateAll(); /** Returns the approximate number of entries in this cache. */ long size(); /** * Returns a current snapshot of this cache's cumulative statistics, or a set of default values if * the cache is not recording statistics. All statistics begin at zero and never decrease over the * lifetime of the cache. * *

Warning: this cache may not be recording statistical data. For example, a cache * created using {@link CacheBuilder} only does so if the {@link CacheBuilder#recordStats} method * was called. If statistics are not being recorded, a {@code CacheStats} instance with zero for * all values is returned. * */ CacheStats stats(); /** * Returns a view of the entries stored in this cache as a thread-safe map. Modifications made to * the map directly affect the cache. * *

Iterators from the returned map are at least weakly consistent: they are safe for * concurrent use, but if the cache is modified (including by eviction) after the iterator is * created, it is undefined which of the changes (if any) will be reflected in that iterator. * *

Warning to users of Java 8+: do not call any of the new default methods that * have been newly added to {@link ConcurrentMap}! These are marked with "Since: 1.8" in the * {@code ConcurrentMap} documentation. They will not function correctly and it is impossible for * Guava to fix them until Guava is ready to require Java 8 for all users. */ ConcurrentMap asMap(); /** * Performs any pending maintenance operations needed by the cache. Exactly which activities are * performed -- if any -- is implementation-dependent. */ void cleanUp(); }
