[−][src]Module blip::service::cache
feature="cache"
only.A distributed binary cache with an immutable cache filling mechanism.
The design is similar in many ways to (and is based on) groupcache.
Like groupcache, this:
-
Shards by key to select which node is responsible for a load.
-
Is wholly in-process. No separate server deployments are required to use it.
-
Uses a deduplicated cache-filling mechanism. Cache misses will induce exactly one coordinated fill operation across all interested nodes in the cluster, the result of which is multiplexed to each simultaneous request.
-
Only supports immutable values. Once a key has been filled, the value for that key cannot be changed. It may be forgotten (given enough time), but that behavior can't be relied upon.
-
Supports automatically mirroring popular keys to multiple nodes.
Unlike groupcache, this:
- Automatically discovers and monitors peers via integration with a blip Mesh.
