Expand description

The CacheBuilder struct is used when creating Cache instances if you want to customize the Cache settings.

  • num_counters

    num_counters is the number of 4-bit access counters to keep for admission and eviction. Dgraph’s developers have seen good performance in setting this to 10x the number of items you expect to keep in the cache when full.

    For example, if you expect each item to have a cost of 1 and max_cost is 100, set num_counters to 1,000. Or, if you use variable cost values but expect the cache to hold around 10,000 items when full, set num_counters to 100,000. The important thing is the number of unique items in the full cache, not necessarily the max_cost value.

  • max_cost

    max_cost is how eviction decisions are made. For example, if max_cost is 100 and a new item with a cost of 1 increases total cache cost to 101, 1 item will be evicted.

    max_cost can also be used to denote the max size in bytes. For example, if max_cost is 1,000,000 (1MB) and the cache is full with 1,000 1KB items, a new item (that’s accepted) would cause 5 1KB items to be evicted.

    max_cost could be anything as long as it matches how you’re using the cost values when calling insert.

  • key_builder

    KeyBuilder is the hashing algorithm used for every key. In Stretto, the Cache will never store the real key. The key will be processed by KeyBuilder. Stretto has two default built-in key builder, one is TransparentKeyBuilder, the other is DefaultKeyBuilder. If your key implements TransparentKey trait, you can use TransparentKeyBuilder which is faster than DefaultKeyBuilder. Otherwise, you should use DefaultKeyBuilder You can also write your own key builder for the Cache, by implementing KeyBuilder trait.

    Note that if you want 128bit hashes you should use the full (u64, u64), otherwise just fill the u64 at the 0 position, and it will behave like any 64bit hash.

  • buffer_size

    buffer_size is the size of the insert buffers. The Dgraph’s developers find that 32 * 1024 gives a good performance.

    If for some reason you see insert performance decreasing with lots of contention (you shouldn’t), try increasing this value in increments of 32 * 1024. This is a fine-tuning mechanism and you probably won’t have to touch this.

  • metrics

    Metrics is true when you want real-time logging of a variety of stats. The reason this is a CacheBuilder flag is because there’s a 10% throughput performance overhead.

  • ignore_internal_cost

    Set to true indicates to the cache that the cost of internally storing the value should be ignored. This is useful when the cost passed to set is not using bytes as units. Keep in mind that setting this to true will increase the memory usage.

  • cleanup_duration

    The Cache will cleanup the expired values every 500ms by default.

  • update_validator

    By default, the Cache will always update the value if the value already exists in the cache. UpdateValidator is a trait to support customized update policy (check if the value should be updated if the value already exists in the cache).

  • callback

    CacheCallback is for customize some extra operations on values when related event happens..

  • coster

    Coster is a trait you can pass to the CacheBuilder in order to evaluate item cost at runtime, and only for the insert calls that aren’t dropped (this is useful if calculating item cost is particularly expensive, and you don’t want to waste time on items that will be dropped anyways).

    To signal to Stretto that you’d like to use this Coster trait:

    1. Set the Coster field to your own Coster implementation.
    2. When calling insert for new items or item updates, use a cost of 0.
  • hasher

    The hasher for the Cache, default is SipHasher.

Set the number of counters for the Cache.

num_counters is the number of 4-bit access counters to keep for admission and eviction. Dgraph’s developers have seen good performance in setting this to 10x the number of items you expect to keep in the cache when full.

For example, if you expect each item to have a cost of 1 and max_cost is 100, set num_counters to 1,000. Or, if you use variable cost values but expect the cache to hold around 10,000 items when full, set num_counters to 100,000. The important thing is the number of unique items in the full cache, not necessarily the max_cost value.

Set the max_cost for the Cache.

max_cost is how eviction decisions are made. For example, if max_cost is 100 and a new item with a cost of 1 increases total cache cost to 101, 1 item will be evicted.

max_cost can also be used to denote the max size in bytes. For example, if max_cost is 1,000,000 (1MB) and the cache is full with 1,000 1KB items, a new item (that’s accepted) would cause 5 1KB items to be evicted.

If for some reason you see insert performance decreasing with lots of contention (you shouldn’t), try increasing this value in increments of 32 * 1024. This is a fine-tuning mechanism and you probably won’t have to touch this.

Set whether record the metrics or not.

Metrics is true when you want real-time logging of a variety of stats. The reason this is a Builder flag is because there’s a 10% throughput performance overhead.

This is supported on crate feature sync only.

Set whether ignore the internal cost or not.

By default, when insert a value in the Cache, there will always 56 for internal cost, because the size of stored item in Cache is 56(excluding the size of value). Set it to true to ignore the internal cost.

This is supported on crate feature sync only.

Set the cleanup ticker for Cache, each tick the Cache will clean the expired entries.
