README

golang-lru

This provides the lru package which implements a fixed-size thread safe LRU cache. It is based on the cache in Groupcache.

Documentation

Full docs are available on Godoc

Example

Using the LRU is very simple:

l, _ := New(128)
for i := 0; i < 256; i++ {
    l.Add(i, nil)
}
if l.Len() != 128 {
    panic(fmt.Sprintf("bad len: %v", l.Len()))
}

Overview

This package provides a simple LRU cache. It is based on the LRU implementation in groupcache: https://github.com/golang/groupcache/tree/master/lru

Types

type ARCCache

type ARCCache struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

ARCCache is a thread-safe fixed size Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC). ARC is an enhancement over the standard LRU cache in that tracks both frequency and recency of use. This avoids a burst in access to new entries from evicting the frequently used older entries. It adds some additional tracking overhead to a standard LRU cache, computationally it is roughly 2x the cost, and the extra memory overhead is linear with the size of the cache. ARC has been patented by IBM, but is similar to the TwoQueueCache (2Q) which requires setting parameters.

func NewARC

func NewARC(size int) (*ARCCache, error)

NewARC creates an ARC of the given size

func (*ARCCache) Add

func (c *ARCCache) Add(key, value interface{})

Add adds a value to the cache.

func (*ARCCache) Contains

func (c *ARCCache) Contains(key interface{}) bool

Contains is used to check if the cache contains a key without updating recency or frequency.

func (*ARCCache) Get

func (c *ARCCache) Get(key interface{}) (interface{}, bool)

Get looks up a key's value from the cache.

func (*ARCCache) Keys

func (c *ARCCache) Keys() []interface{}

Keys returns all the cached keys

func (*ARCCache) Len

func (c *ARCCache) Len() int

Len returns the number of cached entries

func (*ARCCache) Peek

func (c *ARCCache) Peek(key interface{}) (interface{}, bool)

Peek is used to inspect the cache value of a key without updating recency or frequency.

func (*ARCCache) Purge

func (c *ARCCache) Purge()

Purge is used to clear the cache

func (*ARCCache) Remove

func (c *ARCCache) Remove(key interface{})

Remove is used to purge a key from the cache

type Cache

type Cache struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Cache is a thread-safe fixed size LRU cache.

func New

func New(size int) (*Cache, error)

New creates an LRU of the given size

func NewWithEvict

func NewWithEvict(size int, onEvicted func(key interface{}, value interface{})) (*Cache, error)

NewWithEvict constructs a fixed size cache with the given eviction callback.

func (*Cache) Add

func (c *Cache) Add(key, value interface{}) bool

Add adds a value to the cache. Returns true if an eviction occured.

func (*Cache) Contains

func (c *Cache) Contains(key interface{}) bool

Check if a key is in the cache, without updating the recent-ness or deleting it for being stale.

func (*Cache) ContainsOrAdd

func (c *Cache) ContainsOrAdd(key, value interface{}) (ok, evict bool)

ContainsOrAdd checks if a key is in the cache without updating the recent-ness or deleting it for being stale, and if not, adds the value. Returns whether found and whether an eviction occurred.

func (*Cache) Get

func (c *Cache) Get(key interface{}) (interface{}, bool)

Get looks up a key's value from the cache.

func (*Cache) Keys

func (c *Cache) Keys() []interface{}

Keys returns a slice of the keys in the cache, from oldest to newest.

func (*Cache) Len

func (c *Cache) Len() int

Len returns the number of items in the cache.

func (*Cache) Peek

func (c *Cache) Peek(key interface{}) (interface{}, bool)

Returns the key value (or undefined if not found) without updating the "recently used"-ness of the key.

func (*Cache) Purge

RemoveOldest removes the oldest item from the cache.

type TwoQueueCache

type TwoQueueCache struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

TwoQueueCache is a thread-safe fixed size 2Q cache. 2Q is an enhancement over the standard LRU cache in that it tracks both frequently and recently used entries seperately. This avoids a burst in access to new entries from evicting frequently used entries. It adds some additional tracking overhead to the standard LRU cache, and is computationally about 2x the cost, and adds some metadata over head. The ARCCache is similar, but does not require setting any parameters.

func New2Q

func New2Q(size int) (*TwoQueueCache, error)

New2Q creates a new TwoQueueCache using the default values for the parameters.

func (*TwoQueueCache) Get

func (c *TwoQueueCache) Get(key interface{}) (interface{}, bool)

func (*TwoQueueCache) Keys

func (c *TwoQueueCache) Keys() []interface{}

func (*TwoQueueCache) Len

func (c *TwoQueueCache) Len() int

func (*TwoQueueCache) Peek

func (c *TwoQueueCache) Peek(key interface{}) (interface{}, bool)

func (*TwoQueueCache) Purge

func (c *TwoQueueCache) Purge()

func (*TwoQueueCache) Remove
