Type Parameters:

K -

V -

All Known Implementing Classes:

CountBasedBackEnd, PooledBasedBackEnd

public interface HeapCacheBackEnd<K,V>

A backend to a OnHeapCachingTier It's responsibility, beyond being the actual storage (CHM like), is to evict when required.

Method Detail

hasSpace

boolean hasSpace()

Return true if this tier has enough space for more entries.

Returns:

true if there is space for more entries.

get

V get(K key)

Access a key, basically CHM.get()

Parameters:

key - the key whose associated value is to be returned

Returns:

the value to which the specified key is mapped, or null if this map contains no mapping for the key

putIfAbsent

V putIfAbsent(K key,
              V value)

Basically ConcurrentMap.putIfAbsent(Object, Object) CHM.putIfAbsent(Object, Object)}, but will evict if required (on successful put)

Parameters:

key - key with which the specified value is to be associated

value - value to be associated with the specified key

Returns:

the previous value associated with the specified key, or null if there was no mapping for the key. (A null return can also indicate that the map previously associated null with the key, if the implementation supports null values.)

remove

boolean remove(K key,
               V value)

Basically ConcurrentMap.remove(Object, Object) CHM.remove(Object, Object)}

Parameters:

key - key with which the specified value is associated

value - value expected to be associated with the specified key

Returns:

true if the value was removed

replace

boolean replace(K key,
                V oldValue,
                V newValue)

Basically CHM.remove(Object, Object, Object)

Parameters:

key - key with which the specified value is associated

oldValue - value expected to be associated with the specified key

newValue - value to be associated with the specified key

Returns:

true if the value was replaced

remove

V remove(K key)

Basically CHM.remove(Object)

Parameters:

key - key whose mapping is to be removed from the map

Returns:

the previous value associated with key, or null if there was no mapping for key.

clear

void clear()

Basically CHM.clear()

size

@Deprecated
int size()

Deprecated.

This should go away with the new stats I believe

Returns:

the amount of mappings installed

entrySet

@Deprecated
Set<Map.Entry<K,V>> entrySet()

Deprecated.

This should go away with the new stats I believe

Returns:

the Set of entries

registerEvictionCallback

void registerEvictionCallback(HeapCacheBackEnd.EvictionCallback<K,V> callback)

Let's you register a single callback for evictions

Parameters:

callback - the thing to call back on

recalculateSize

@Deprecated
void recalculateSize(K key)

Deprecated.

This is evil! Don't call this!

Parameters:

key -

getPolicy

@Deprecated
Policy getPolicy()

Deprecated.

queries the potential eviction policy for the heap caching tier

Returns:

the policy

setPolicy

@Deprecated
void setPolicy(Policy policy)

Deprecated.

sets the eviction policy on the heap caching tier

Parameters:

policy - the policy to use
