GCache

wercker statusGoDoc

Cache library for golang. It supports expirable Cache, LFU, LRU and ARC.

Features

  • Supports expirable Cache, LFU, LRU and ARC.

  • Goroutine safe.

  • Supports event handlers which evict, purge, and add entry. (Optional)

  • Automatically load cache if it doesn't exists. (Optional)

Install

$ go get github.com/bluele/gcache

Example

Manually set a key-value pair.

package main
import (
"github.com/bluele/gcache""fmt"
)
funcmain() {
gc:=gcache.New(20).
LRU().
Build()
gc.Set("key", "ok")
value, err:=gc.Get("key")
iferr!=nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("Get:", value)
}
Get: ok

Manually set a key-value pair, with an expiration time.

package main
import (
"github.com/bluele/gcache""fmt""time"
)
funcmain() {
gc:=gcache.New(20).
LRU().
Build()
gc.SetWithExpire("key", "ok", time.Second*10)
value, _:=gc.Get("key")
fmt.Println("Get:", value)
// Wait for value to expiretime.Sleep(time.Second*10)
value, err=gc.Get("key")
iferr!=nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("Get:", value)
}
Get: ok
// 10 seconds later, new attempt:
panic: ErrKeyNotFound

Automatically load value

package main
import (
"github.com/bluele/gcache""fmt"
)
funcmain() {
gc:=gcache.New(20).
LRU().
LoaderFunc(func(keyinterface{}) (interface{}, error) {
return"ok", nil
}).
Build()
value, err:=gc.Get("key")
iferr!=nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("Get:", value)
}
Get: ok

Automatically load value with expiration

package main
import (
"fmt""time""github.com/bluele/gcache"
)
funcmain() {
varevictCounter, loaderCounter, purgeCounterintgc:=gcache.New(20).
LRU().
LoaderExpireFunc(func(keyinterface{}) (interface{}, *time.Duration, error) {
loaderCounter++expire:=1*time.Secondreturn"ok", &expire, nil
}).
EvictedFunc(func(key, valueinterface{}) {
evictCounter++fmt.Println("evicted key:", key)
}).
PurgeVisitorFunc(func(key, valueinterface{}) {
purgeCounter++fmt.Println("purged key:", key)
}).
Build()
value, err:=gc.Get("key")
iferr!=nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("Get:", value)
time.Sleep(1*time.Second)
value, err=gc.Get("key")
iferr!=nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("Get:", value)
gc.Purge()
ifloaderCounter!=evictCounter+purgeCounter {
panic("bad")
}
}
Get: ok
evicted key: key
Get: ok
purged key: key

Cache Algorithm

  • Least-Frequently Used (LFU)

Discards the least frequently used items first.

funcmain() {
// size: 10gc:=gcache.New(10).
LFU().
Build()
gc.Set("key", "value")
}
  • Least Recently Used (LRU)

Discards the least recently used items first.

funcmain() {
// size: 10gc:=gcache.New(10).
LRU().
Build()
gc.Set("key", "value")
}
  • Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC)

Constantly balances between LRU and LFU, to improve the combined result.

detail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_replacement_cache

funcmain() {
// size: 10gc:=gcache.New(10).
ARC().
Build()
gc.Set("key", "value")
}
  • SimpleCache (Default)

SimpleCache has no clear priority for evict cache. It depends on key-value map order.

funcmain() {
// size: 10gc:=gcache.New(10).Build()
gc.Set("key", "value")
v, err:=gc.Get("key")
iferr!=nil {
panic(err)
}
}

Loading Cache

If specified LoaderFunc, values are automatically loaded by the cache, and are stored in the cache until either evicted or manually invalidated.

funcmain() {
gc:=gcache.New(10).
LRU().
LoaderFunc(func(keyinterface{}) (interface{}, error) {
return"value", nil
}).
Build()
v, _:=gc.Get("key")
// output: "value"fmt.Println(v)
}

GCache coordinates cache fills such that only one load in one process of an entire replicated set of processes populates the cache, then multiplexes the loaded value to all callers.

Expirable cache

funcmain() {
// LRU cache, size: 10, expiration: after a hourgc:=gcache.New(10).
LRU().
Expiration(time.Hour).
Build()
}

Event handlers

Evicted handler

Event handler for evict the entry.

funcmain() {
gc:=gcache.New(2).
EvictedFunc(func(key, valueinterface{}) {
fmt.Println("evicted key:", key)
}).
Build()
fori:=0; i<3; i++ {
gc.Set(i, i*i)
}
}
evicted key: 0

Added handler

Event handler for add the entry.

funcmain() {
gc:=gcache.New(2).
AddedFunc(func(key, valueinterface{}) {
fmt.Println("added key:", key)
}).
Build()
fori:=0; i<3; i++ {
gc.Set(i, i*i)
}
}
added key: 0
added key: 1
added key: 2
