Interface AuxiliaryCache<K,V>

All Superinterfaces:

ICache<K,V>, ICacheType

All Known Subinterfaces:

IRemoteCacheClient<K,V>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractAuxiliaryCache, AbstractAuxiliaryCacheEventLogging, AbstractDiskCache, AbstractRemoteAuxiliaryCache, AbstractRemoteCacheNoWaitFacade, BlockDiskCache, IndexedDiskCache, JDBCDiskCache, LateralCache, LateralCacheNoWait, LateralCacheNoWaitFacade, MySQLDiskCache, RemoteCache, RemoteCacheNoWait, RemoteCacheNoWaitFacade, RemoteHttpCache

public interface AuxiliaryCache<K,V>
extends ICache<K,V>

Tag interface for auxiliary caches. Currently this provides no additional methods over what is in ICache, but I anticipate that will change. For example, there will be a mechanism for determining the type (disk/lateral/remote) of the auxiliary here -- and the existing getCacheType will be removed from ICache.

getCacheType

Method Details

getKeySet

Set<K> getKeySet()
          throws IOException

Get a set of the keys for all elements in the auxiliary cache.

Returns:

a set of the key type TODO This should probably be done in chunks with a range passed in. This will be a problem if someone puts a 1,000,000 or so items in a region.

Throws:

IOException - if access to the auxiliary cache fails

getStatistics

IStats getStatistics()

Returns:

the historical and statistical data for a region's auxiliary cache.

getAuxiliaryCacheAttributes

AuxiliaryCacheAttributes getAuxiliaryCacheAttributes()

This returns the generic attributes for an auxiliary cache. Most implementations will cast this to a more specific type.

Returns:

the attributes for the auxiliary cache

setElementSerializer

void setElementSerializer(IElementSerializer elementSerializer)

Allows you to inject a custom serializer. A good example would be a compressing standard serializer.

Parameters:

elementSerializer -

setCacheEventLogger

void setCacheEventLogger(ICacheEventLogger cacheEventLogger)

Every Auxiliary must allow for the use of an event logger.

Parameters:

cacheEventLogger -
