Constructor Detail

LfuCache

public LfuCache()

Constructor for the LfuCache object. Capacity is set to default and resolver always returns null.

LfuCache

public LfuCache(int capacity)

Constructor for the LfuCache object. Resolver always returns null.

Parameters:

capacity - capacity of the cache

LfuCache

public LfuCache(Resolver<K,V> resolver)

Constructor for the LfuCache object. Capacity is set to default.

Parameters:

resolver - resolver to associate with the cache

LfuCache

public LfuCache(Resolver<K,V> resolver,
                int capacity)

Constructor for the LfuCache object.

Parameters:

resolver - resolver to associate with the cache

capacity - capacity of the cache

Method Detail

put

public V put(K key,
             V value)

Adds a new key->value mapping to the cache. If a mapping previously existed for the specified key, it is removed at first. If the cache is full, the least frequent key is removed from the cache.

Specified by:

put in interface Cache<K,V>

Overrides:

put in class AbstractCache<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key to add to the cache

value - value to map the key on

Returns:

previous value associated with the key or null if a previous mapping did not exists in the cache for the specified key

get

public V get(K key)

Gets the value associated with the specified key from the cache if a mapping exists, or the value returned by the resolver.

Specified by:

get in interface Cache<K,V>

Overrides:

get in class AbstractCache<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key to get the value for

Returns:

value associated with the key from the cache, or from the resolver if a mapping does not exits in the cache

remove

public V remove(K key)

Removes the specified key and its value from the cache.

Specified by:

remove in interface Cache<K,V>

Overrides:

remove in class AbstractCache<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key to remove from the cache.

Returns:

value associated with the key, or null if a mapping did not exist

update

public V update(K key,
                V value)

Updates the value associated with the specified key in the cache if a mapping exists for the key.

Specified by:

update in interface Cache<K,V>

Overrides:

update in class AbstractCache<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key to change the value for

value - new value associated with the key

Returns:

previous associated value or null if the key is not cached

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(K key)

Checks whether the specified key is cached.

Specified by:

containsKey in interface Cache<K,V>

Specified by:

containsKey in class AbstractCache<K,V>

Parameters:

key - key to check

Returns:

true, if the key is currently cached, false otherwise

clear

public void clear()

Removes all key->value mappings from the cache and cleans all queues.

keySet

public java.util.Set<K> keySet()

Gets all keys contained in the cache.

Returns:

Set of keys contained in the cache.

size

public int size()

Returns the number of key->value mappings in the cache.

Specified by:

size in interface Cache<K,V>

Specified by:

size in class AbstractCache<K,V>

Returns:

number of key->value mappings in the cache

nextEvicted

public K nextEvicted()

Gets the least frequent key from the cache.

Specified by:

nextEvicted in interface Cache<K,V>

Specified by:

nextEvicted in class AbstractCache<K,V>

Returns:

the least frequent key

evict

public void evict()

Removes the least frequent key from the cache.

Specified by:

evict in interface Cache<K,V>

Specified by:

evict in class AbstractCache<K,V>

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a text representation of the cache.

Specified by:

toString in class AbstractCache<K,V>

Returns:

text representation of the cache
