Object ::acs::per_request_cache (public)
::acs::LockfreeCache ::acs::per_request_cacheLockfree cache with per-request live time of the entries. The purpose of the per-request cache is to cache computation results of a single request. The entries of this cache are therefore very short-lived. Some values are needed multiple times per request, and/or they should show consistently the same value during the same request, no matter, if concurrently, a value is changed (e.g. permissions). The per-request cache uses a Tcl variable in the global Tcl namespace, such it will be automatically reclaimed after the request. The per-request cache uses the prefix "::__acs_cache".
Object ::acs::per_thread_cache (public)
::acs::LockfreeCache ::acs::per_thread_cacheLockfree cache with per-thread live time of the entries. The per-thread caches use namespaced variables, which are not touched by the automatic per-request cleanup routines of the server. So, the values cached in one requests can be used by some later request in the same thread. The entries are kept in per-thread caches as long as the thread lives, there is so far no automatic mechanism to flush these. So, per-thread caches are typically used for values fetched from the database, which do not change, unless the server is restarted. Note: the usage of per-thread caches is only recommended for static values, which do no change during the life time of the server, since there is so far no automatic measure in place to the flush values in every thread.

keyFlush a single entry in the cache
- Switches:
- -partition_key (optional)
- Parameters:
- key (required)
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::Cache method flush_all (public)
<instance of acs::Cache> flush_allFlush all contents of all (partitioned) caches. In the case of a base ::acs::Cache, it is identical to "flush_cash".
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.

<instance of acs::Cache> flush_cache \
[ -partition_key partition_key ]Flush all entries in a cache.

- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::Cache method flush_pattern (public)
<instance of acs::Cache> flush_pattern \
[ -partition_key partition_key ] patternFlush in the cache a value based on a pattern operation. Use this function rarely, since on large caches (e.g. 100k entries or more) the glob operation will cause long locks, which should be avoided. The partitioned variants can help to reduce the lock times.
- Switches:
- -partition_key (optional)
- Parameters:
- pattern (required)
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::Cache method get (public)
<instance of acs::Cache> get [ -partition_key partition_key ] \
keyThe "get" method retrieves data from the cache. It should not be used for new applications due to likely race conditions, but legacy applications use this. As implementation, we use the AOLserver API emulation.
- Switches:
- -partition_key (optional)
- Parameters:
- key (required)
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::Cache method init (public)
<instance of acs::Cache> initIf the name was not provided, use the object name as default.
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::Cache method set (public)
<instance of acs::Cache> set [ -partition_key partition_key ] \
key valueSet a single value in the cache. This code uses ns_cache_eval to achieve this behavior, which is typically an AOLserver idiom and should be avoided.
- Switches:
- -partition_key (optional)
- Parameters:
- key (required)
- value (required)
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::Cache method show_all (public)
<instance of acs::Cache> show_allLog all cache keys to the system log. The primary usage is for debugging.
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::HashKeyPartitionedCache method flush_pattern (public)

- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::HashKeyPartitionedCache method set (public)
<instance of acs::HashKeyPartitionedCache> set \
-partition_key partition_key key valueSet a single value in the cache. It transforms the partition key into a hash value. This code uses ns_cache_eval to achieve this behavior, which is typically an AOLserver idiom and should be avoided.
- Switches:
- -partition_key (required)
- Parameters:
- key (required)
- value (required)
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::KeyPartitionedCache method flush_pattern (public)
<instance of acs::KeyPartitionedCache> flush_pattern \
-partition_key partition_key patternFlush just in the determined partition
- Switches:
- -partition_key (required, integer)
- Parameters:
- pattern (required)
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::KeyPartitionedCache method set (public)
<instance of acs::KeyPartitionedCache> set \
-partition_key partition_key key valueSet a single value in the cache. This code uses ns_cache_eval to achieve this behavior, which is typically an AOLserver idiom and should be avoided.
- Switches:
- -partition_key (required, integer)
- Parameters:
- key (required)
- value (required)
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::LockfreeCache method eval (public)
<instance of acs::LockfreeCache> eval -key key \
[ -no_cache no_cache ] [ -no_empty ] \
[ -from_cache_indicator from_cache_indicator ] cmdUse the "prefix" to determine whether the cache is per-thread or per-request.
- Switches:
- -key (required)
- key for caching, should start with package-key and a dot to avoid name clashes
- -no_cache (optional)
- list of returned values that should not be cached
- -no_empty (optional, defaults to
"false")- don't cache empty values. This flag is deprecated, one should use the no_cache flag instead.
- -from_cache_indicator (optional)
- variable name to indicate whether the returned value was from cache or not
- Parameters:
- cmd (required)
- command to be executed.
- Returns:
- return the last value set (don't use "return").
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::LockfreeCache method flush (public)
<instance of acs::LockfreeCache> flush [ -pattern pattern ]Flush a cache entry based on the pattern (which might be wild-card-free). Currently, the clusterwide flushing is omitted. We have the per-request cache (clusterwide operations do not make sense for this) and per-thread caching. The per-thread caching application have to be aware that flushing is happening only in one thread, so clusterwide operations will only start to make sense, when the all threads of a server would be cleaned.
- Switches:
- -pattern (optional, defaults to
"*")- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::LockfreeCache method get (public)
<instance of acs::LockfreeCache> get -key key varGet entry with the provided key from this cache if it exists. In most cases, the "eval" method should be used.
- Switches:
- -key (required)
- cache key
- Parameters:
- var (required)
- Returns:
- return boolean value indicating success.
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::PartitionedCache method flush_all (public)

[ -partition_key partition_key ]Flush all entries in all partitions of a cache.
- Switches:
- -partition_key (optional)
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::PartitionedCache method init (public)
<instance of acs::PartitionedCache> initIf the name was not provided, use the object name as default for the cache name.
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::PartitionedCache method show_all (public)
<instance of acs::PartitionedCache> show_allLog all cache keys of all partitions to the system log. The primary usage is for debugging.
- Testcases:
- No testcase defined.
acs::disk_cache_eval (public)
acs::disk_cache_eval -call call -key key -id id

- a Tcl snippet executed in the caller scope.
- -key (required)
- a key used to name the directory where the disk cache will be stored.

acs::disk_cache_flush (public)
acs::disk_cache_flush -key key -id id
Flushes the filesystem cache.
