public interface ICache<K,V>
extends javax.cache.Cache<K,V>, PrefixedDistributedObject

This ICache interface is the Cache extension offered by Hazelcast JCache.
In addition to the standard set of JCache methods defined in the JSR 107 specification, Hazelcast provides additional operations to support a broader range of programing styles.

There are three different types of extensions methods provided:

• asynchronous version of typical blocking cache operations (due to remote calls),
• typical cache operations, providing a custom ExpiryPolicy parameter to apply a special expiration to that specific operation, and
• common collection-like operations (e.g. size()) or typical Hazelcast-list additions (e.g. destroy()).

To take advantage of the methods of this interface, the Cache instance needs to be unwrapped as defined in the JSR 107 standard (Cache.unwrap(Class)) by providing the ICache interface parameter.

   ICache<Key , Value> unwrappedCache =  cache.unwrap( ICache.class );
 

The unwrapped cache instance can now be used for both ICache and Cache operations.

Asynchronous operations:
For most of the typical operations, Hazelcast provides asynchronous versions to program in a more reactive styled way. All asynchronous operations follow the same naming pattern: the operation's name from JCache extended by the term Async; for example, the asynchronous version of Cache.get(Object) is getAsync(Object).
These methods return an ICompletableFuture that can be used to get the result by either implementing a callback based on ExecutionCallback, or waiting for the operation to be completed in a blocking fashion Future.get() or Future.get(long, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit).

In a reactive way:

   ICompletableFuture<Value> future = unwrappedCache.getAsync( "key-1" ) ;
   future.andThen( new ExecutionCallback() {
     public void onResponse( Value value ) {
         System.out.println( value );
     }

     public void onFailure( Throwable throwable ) {
         throwable.printStackTrace();
     }
   } );
 

Or in a blocking way:

   ICompletableFuture<Value> future = unwrappedCache.getAsync( "key-1" ) ;
   Value value = future.get();
   System.out.println( value );
 

Custom ExpirePolicy:
For most of the typical operations, Hazelcast provides overloaded versions with an additional ExpiryPolicy parameter to configure a different expiration policy from the default one set in the CompleteConfiguration passed to the cache creation. Therefore the Cache.put(Object, Object) operation has an overload put(Object, Object, javax.cache.expiry.ExpiryPolicy) to pass in the special policy.

Important: The overloads use an instance of ExpiryPolicy, not a Factory instance as is used in the configuration.

   unwrappedCache.put( "key", "value", new AccessedExpiryPolicy( Duration.ONE_DAY ) );
 

Split-brain

Behaviour of ICache under split-brain scenarios should be taken into account when using this data structure. During a split, each partitioned cluster will either create a brand new ICache or it will continue to use the primary or back-up version.

As a defensive mechanism against such inconsistency, consider using the in-built split-brain protection for ICache. Using this functionality it is possible to restrict operations in smaller partitioned clusters. It should be noted that there is still an inconsistency window between the time of the split and the actual detection. Therefore using this reduces the window of inconsistency but can never completely eliminate it.

getAndReplaceAsync

ICompletableFuture<V> getAndReplaceAsync(K key,
                                         V value,
                                         javax.cache.expiry.ExpiryPolicy expiryPolicy)

Asynchronously replaces the assigned value of the given key by the specified value using a custom ExpiryPolicy and returns the previously assigned value.

If the cache is configured for write-through operation mode, the underlying configured CacheWriter might be called to store the value of the key to any kind of external resource.

Parameters:

key - The key whose value is replaced.

value - The new value to be associated with the specified key.

expiryPolicy - The custom expiry policy for this operation, a null value is equivalent to Cache.getAndReplace(Object, Object)

Returns:

ICompletableFuture to retrieve a possible previously assigned value for the given key.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the given key or value is null.

javax.cache.CacheException - if any exception happens while invoking the request, other exceptions are wrapped.

IllegalStateException - if the cache is Cache.isClosed().

ClassCastException - if the implementation is configured to perform runtime-type-checking, and the key or value types are incompatible with those that have been configured for the Cache.

If the cache is configured for read-through operation mode, the underlying configured CacheLoader might be called to retrieve the values of the keys from any kind of external resource.

Parameters:

            javax.cache.expiry.ExpiryPolicy expiryPolicy)

Copies all of the entries from the given map to the cache using a custom ExpiryPolicy.

Puts of single entries happen atomically but there is no transactional guarantee over the complete putAll operation. If other concurrent operations modify or remove all or single values of the provided map, the result is undefined.

If the cache is configured for write-through operation mode, the underlying configured CacheWriter might be called to store the values of the keys to any kind of external resource.

Parameters:

map - The mappings to be stored in this cache.

                    javax.cache.expiry.ExpiryPolicy expiryPolicy)

Associates the specified key with the given value if and only if there is not yet a mapping defined for the specified key.

This is equivalent to:

   if (!cache.containsKey(key)) {}
     cache.put(key, value);
     return true;
   } else {
     return false;
   }
 

except that the action is performed atomically.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the given key or value is null.

javax.cache.CacheException - if any exception happens while invoking the request, other exceptions are wrapped.

     cache.put(key, newValue);
     return true;
   } else {
     return false;

size

int size()

Total entry count.

Returns:

total entry count

destroy

void destroy()

Closes the cache. Clears the internal content and releases any resource.

Specified by:

destroy in interface DistributedObject

See Also:

CacheManager.destroyCache(String)

isDestroyed

boolean isDestroyed()

Determines whether this Cache instance has been destroyed.

Returns:

true if this Cache instance is destroyed; false if it is still open.

addPartitionLostListener

String addPartitionLostListener(CachePartitionLostListener listener)

Adds a CachePartitionLostListener.

The addPartitionLostListener returns a registration ID. This ID is needed to remove the CachePartitionLostListener using the removePartitionLostListener(String) method.

There is no check for duplicate registrations, so if you register the listener twice, it will get events twice. IMPORTANT: Please @see com.hazelcast.partition.PartitionLostListener for weaknesses. IMPORTANT: Listeners registered from HazelcastClient may miss some of the cache partition lost events due to design limitations.

Parameters:

listener - the added CachePartitionLostListener.

Returns:

returns the registration ID for the CachePartitionLostListener.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if listener is null.

See Also:

removePartitionLostListener(String)

removePartitionLostListener

boolean removePartitionLostListener(String id)

Removes the specified cache partition lost listener. Returns silently if there is no such listener added before.

Parameters:

id - ID of registered listener.

Returns:

true if registration is removed, false otherwise.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the given ID is null.

iterator

Iterator<javax.cache.Cache.Entry<K,V>> iterator(int fetchSize)

Creates and returns a cluster wide iterator to iterate on all entries owned by this cache.

The ordering of iteration over entries is undefined.

During iteration, any entries that are:

• read will have their appropriate CacheEntryReadListeners notified.
• removed will have their appropriate CacheEntryRemoveListeners notified.

Iterator.next() may return null if the entry is no longer present, has expired or has been evicted.

Parameters:

fetchSize - size for fetching keys in bulk. This size can be thought of as page size for iteration. But notice that at every fetch, only keys are retrieved, not values. Values are retrieved on each iterate.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the cache is Cache.isClosed()
