Method Detail

getCachedValues

byte[][] getCachedValues(byte[] handle,
                         byte[][] reqTypes,
                         int[] reqIndexes)
                         throws java.lang.Exception
Returns any non-expired handle values that are in the caches storage. A null return value indicates that the requested values aren't in the cache. Returning the an array of values (including an array of zero length) indicates that the returned values are the only values from the requested set (ie the handle doesn't have any more values from the requested set). Returns a sentinel value if HANDLE_NOT_FOUND has been cached; return value should be checked against isCachedNotFound before using. ***** Speed is important in this method *****

Throws:
java.lang.Exception

isCachedNotFound

boolean isCachedNotFound(byte[][] values)
Returns true if this return value of getCachedValues indicates a cached value of HANDLE_NOT_FOUND


setCachedValues

void setCachedValues(byte[] handle,
                     HandleValue[] newValues,
                     byte[][] newTypeList,
                     int[] newIndexList)
                     throws java.lang.Exception
Store the given handle values after a query for the handle. The query was performed with the given type-list and index-list. ***** Speed is less important in this method *****

Throws:
java.lang.Exception

setCachedNotFound

void setCachedNotFound(byte[] handle,
                       int ttl)
                       throws java.lang.Exception
Returns true if this handle should have a cached HANDLE_NOT_FOUND. Pass time-to-live.

Throws:
java.lang.Exception

setMaximumHandles

void setMaximumHandles(int maxHandles)
Set the maximum size for the cache by the number of handles.


setMaximumSize

void setMaximumSize(int maxSize)
Set the maximum size for the cache by the number of bytes used for storage.


removeHandle

void removeHandle(byte[] handle)
                  throws java.lang.Exception
Remove one handle from the cache

Throws:
java.lang.Exception

clear

void clear()
           throws java.lang.Exception
Remove all values from the cache

Throws:
java.lang.Exception

close

void close()
           throws java.lang.Exception
Throws:
java.lang.Exception
