public abstract class OverflowingLRUCache
extends LRUCache

The OverflowingLRUCache is an LRUCache which attempts to maintain a size equal or less than its fSpaceLimit by removing the least recently used elements.

The cache will remove elements which successfully close and all elements which are explicitly removed.

If the cache cannot remove enough old elements to add new elements it will grow beyond fSpaceLimit. Later, it will attempt to shink back to the maximum space limit. The method close should attempt to close the element. If the element is successfully closed it will return true and the element will be removed from the cache. Otherwise the element will remain in the cache.

The cache implicitly attempts shrinks on calls to putand setSpaceLimit. Explicitly calling the shrink method will also cause the cache to attempt to shrink.

The cache calculates the used space of all elements which implement ILRUCacheable. All other elements are assumed to be of size one.

Use the #peek(Object) and #disableTimestamps() method to circumvent the timestamp feature of the cache. This feature is intended to be used only when the #close(LRUCacheEntry) method causes changes to the cache. For example, if a parent closes its children when #close(LRUCacheEntry) is called, it should be careful not to change the LRU linked list. It can be sure it is not causing problems by calling #peek(Object) instead of #get(Object) method.

Constructor Detail

OverflowingLRUCache

public OverflowingLRUCache(int size)

Creates a OverflowingLRUCache.

Parameters:

size - Size limit of cache.

OverflowingLRUCache

public OverflowingLRUCache(int size,
                           int overflow)

Creates a OverflowingLRUCache.

Parameters:

size - Size limit of cache.

overflow - Size of the overflow.

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Returns a new cache containing the same contents.

Overrides:

clone in class LRUCache

Returns:

New copy of this object.

elements

public java.util.Enumeration elements()

Returns an enumerator of the values in the cache with the most recently used first.

fillingRatio

public double fillingRatio()

Overrides:

fillingRatio in class LRUCache

getEntryTable

public java.util.Hashtable getEntryTable()

For internal testing only. This method exposed only for testing purposes!

Returns:

Hashtable of entries

getLoadFactor

public double getLoadFactor()

Returns the load factor for the cache. The load factor determines how much space is reclaimed when the cache exceeds its space limit.

Returns:

double

getOverflow

public int getOverflow()

Returns:

The space by which the cache has overflown.

printStats

public void printStats()

For testing purposes only

put

public java.lang.Object put(java.lang.Object key,
                            java.lang.Object value)

Sets the value in the cache at the given key. Returns the value.

Overrides:

put in class LRUCache

Parameters:

key - Key of object to add.

value - Value of object to add.

Returns:

added value.

remove

public java.lang.Object remove(java.lang.Object key)

Removes and returns the value in the cache for the given key. If the key is not in the cache, returns null.

Parameters:

key - Key of object to remove from cache.

Returns:

Value removed from cache.

setLoadFactor

public void setLoadFactor(double newLoadFactor)
                   throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Sets the load factor for the cache. The load factor determines how much space is reclaimed when the cache exceeds its space limit.

Parameters:

newLoadFactor - double

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - when the new load factor is not in (0.0, 1.0]

setSpaceLimit

public void setSpaceLimit(int limit)

Sets the maximum amount of space that the cache can store

Overrides:

setSpaceLimit in class LRUCache

Parameters:

limit - Number of units of cache space

shrink

public boolean shrink()

Attempts to shrink the cache if it has overflown. Returns true if the cache shrinks to less than or equal to fSpaceLimit.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a String that represents the value of this object. This method is for debugging purposes only.

Overrides:

toString in class LRUCache
