Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class components::CachingComponentBase< T >

Base class for caching components.

Provides facilities for creating periodically updated caches. You need to override cache::CacheUpdateTrait::Update then call cache::CacheUpdateTrait::StartPeriodicUpdates after setup and cache::CacheUpdateTrait::StopPeriodicUpdates before teardown. You can also override cache::CachingComponentBase::PreAssignCheck and set has-pre-assign-check: true in the static config to enable check.

Caching components must be configured in service config (see options below) and may be reconfigured dynamically via components::DynamicConfig.

Basics of Caches provide a more detailed introduction.

Dynamic config

Static options:

Name Description Default value
update-types specifies whether incremental and/or full updates will be used see below
update-interval (required) interval between Update invocations
update-jitter max. amount of time by which update-interval may be adjusted for requests dispersal update_interval / 10
full-update-interval interval between full updates
full-update-jitter max. amount of time by which full-update-interval may be adjusted for requests dispersal full-update-interval / 10
updates-enabled if false, cache updates are disabled (except for the first one if !first-update-fail-ok) true
first-update-fail-ok whether first update failure is non-fatal false
task-processor the name of the TaskProcessor for running DoWork main-task-processor
config-settings enables dynamic reconfiguration with CacheConfigSet true
exception-interval Used instead of update-interval in case of exception update_interval
additional-cleanup-interval how often to run background RCU garbage collector 10 seconds
is-strong-period whether to include Update execution time in update-interval false
testsuite-force-periodic-update override testsuite-periodic-update-enabled in TestsuiteSupport component config
failed-updates-before-expiration the number of consecutive failed updates for data expiration
has-pre-assign-check enables the check before changing the value in the cache, by default it is the check that the new value is not empty false
alert-on-failing-to-update-times fire an alert if the cache update failed specified amount of times in a row. If zero - alerts are disabled. Value from dynamic config takes priority over static 0
dump.* Manages cache behavior after dump load -
dump.first-update-mode Behavior of update after successful load from dump. See info on modes below skip
dump.first-update-type Update type after successful load from dump (full, incremental or incremental-then-async-full) full

Update types

  • full-and-incremental: both update-interval and full-update-interval must be specified. Updates with UpdateType::kIncremental will be triggered each update-interval (adjusted by jitter) unless full-update-interval has passed and UpdateType::kFull is triggered.
  • only-full: only update-interval must be specified. UpdateType::kFull will be triggered each update-interval (adjusted by jitter).
  • only-incremental: only update-interval must be specified. UpdateType::kFull is triggered on the first update, afterwards UpdateType::kIncremental will be triggered each update-interval (adjusted by jitter).

Avoiding memory leaks

If you don't implement the deletion of objects that are deleted from the data source and don't use full updates, you may get an effective memory leak, because garbage objects will pile up in the cached data.

Calculation example:

  • size of database: 1000 objects
  • removal rate: 30 objects per minute (0.5 objects per second)

Let's say we allow 20% extra garbage objects in cache in addition to the actual objects from the database. In this case we need:

full-update-interval = (size-of-database * 20% / removal-rate) = 400s

first-update-mode modes

Mode Description
skip after successful load from dump, do nothing
required make a synchronous update of type first-update-type, stop the service on failure
best-effort make a synchronous update of type first-update-type, keep working and use data from dump on failure

testsuite-force-periodic-update

use it to enable periodic cache update for a component in testsuite environment where testsuite-periodic-update-enabled from TestsuiteSupport config is false

By default, update types are guessed based on update intervals presence. If both update-interval and full-update-interval are present, full-and-incremental types is assumed. Otherwise only-full is used.
