Struct pagecache::PageCache

pub struct PageCache<PM, P, R> where
    P: 'static + Send + Sync,  { /* fields omitted */ }

A lock-free pagecache which supports fragmented pages for dramatically improving write throughput.

Working with the PageCache

extern crate pagecache;
extern crate crossbeam_epoch as epoch;

use pagecache::Materializer;

use epoch::{Shared, pin};

pub struct TestMaterializer;

impl Materializer for TestMaterializer {
    // The possibly fragmented page, written to log storage sequentially, and
    // read in parallel from multiple locations on disk when serving
    // a request to read the page. These will be merged to a single version
    // at read time, and possibly cached.
    type PageFrag = String;

    // The state returned by a call to `PageCache::recover`, as
    // described by `Materializer::recover`
    type Recovery = ();

    // Create a new `Materializer` with the previously recovered
    // state if any existed.
    fn new(config: pagecache::Config, last_recovery: &Option<Self::Recovery>) -> Self {
        TestMaterializer
    }

    // Used to merge chains of partial pages into a form
    // that is useful for the `PageCache` owner.
    fn merge(&self, frags: &[&Self::PageFrag]) -> Self::PageFrag {
        let mut consolidated = String::new();
        for frag in frags.into_iter() {
            consolidated.push_str(&*frag);
        }

        consolidated
    }

    // Used to feed custom recovery information back to a higher-level abstraction
    // during startup. For example, a B-Link tree must know what the current
    // root node is before it can start serving requests.
    fn recover(&self, _: &Self::PageFrag) -> Option<Self::Recovery> {
        None
    }
}

fn main() {
    let conf = pagecache::ConfigBuilder::new().temporary(true).build();
    let pc: pagecache::PageCache<TestMaterializer, _, _> =
        pagecache::PageCache::start(conf).unwrap();
    {
        let guard = pin();
        let id = pc.allocate(&guard).unwrap();

        // The first item in a page should be set using replace,
        // which signals that this is the beginning of a new
        // page history, and that any previous items associated
        // with this page should be forgotten.
        let key = pc.replace(id, Shared::null(), "a".to_owned(), &guard).unwrap();

        // Subsequent atomic updates should be added with link.
        let key = pc.link(id, key, "b".to_owned(), &guard).unwrap();
        let _key = pc.link(id, key, "c".to_owned(), &guard).unwrap();

        // When getting a page, the provide `Materializer` is
        // used to merge all pages together.
        let (consolidated, _key) = pc.get(id, &guard).unwrap().unwrap();

        assert_eq!(consolidated, "abc".to_owned());
    }
}

Methods

impl<PM, P, R> PageCache<PM, P, R> where     PM: Materializer<PageFrag = P, Recovery = R>,     PM: 'static + Send + Sync,     P: 'static + Debug + Clone + Serialize + DeserializeOwned + Send + Sync,     R: Debug + Clone + Serialize + DeserializeOwned + Send,

pub fn start(config: Config) -> CacheResult<PageCache<PM, P, R>, ()>

Instantiate a new PageCache.

pub fn flush(&self) -> CacheResult<(), ()>

Flushes any pending IO buffers to disk to ensure durability.

pub fn recovered_state(&self) -> Option<R>

Return the recovered state from the snapshot

pub fn allocate<'g>(&self, guard: &'g Guard) -> CacheResult<PageID, ()>

Create a new page, trying to reuse old freed pages if possible to maximize underlying Radix pointer density.

pub fn free<'g>(     &self,     pid: PageID,     guard: &'g Guard ) -> CacheResult<(), Option<PagePtr<'g, P>>>

Free a particular page.

pub fn link<'g>(     &self,     pid: PageID,     old: PagePtr<'g, P>,     new: P,     guard: &'g Guard ) -> CacheResult<PagePtr<'g, P>, Option<PagePtr<'g, P>>>

Try to atomically add a PageFrag to the page. Returns Ok(new_key) if the operation was successful. Returns Err(None) if the page no longer exists. Returns Err(Some(actual_key)) if the atomic append fails.

pub fn replace<'g>(     &self,     pid: PageID,     old: PagePtr<'g, P>,     new: P,     guard: &'g Guard ) -> CacheResult<PagePtr<'g, P>, Option<PagePtr<'g, P>>>

Replace an existing page with a different set of PageFrags. Returns Ok(new_key) if the operation was successful. Returns Err(None) if the page no longer exists. Returns Err(Some(actual_key)) if the atomic swap fails.

pub fn get<'g>(     &self,     pid: PageID,     guard: &'g Guard ) -> CacheResult<PageGet<'g, PM::PageFrag>, Option<PagePtr<'g, P>>>

Try to retrieve a page by its logical ID.
