Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class components::CachingComponentBase< T >

Base class for caching components.

Provides facilities for creating periodically updated caches. You need to override cache::CacheUpdateTrait::Update then call cache::CacheUpdateTrait::StartPeriodicUpdates after setup and cache::CacheUpdateTrait::StopPeriodicUpdates before teardown. You can also override cache::CachingComponentBase::PreAssignCheck and set has-pre-assign-check: true in the static config to enable check.

Caching components must be configured in service config (see options below) and may be reconfigured dynamically via components::DynamicConfig.

Basics of Caches provide a more detailed introduction.

Dynamic config

Static options:

Name	Description	Default value
update-types	specifies whether incremental and/or full updates will be used	see below
update-interval	(required) interval between Update invocations	–
update-jitter	max. amount of time by which update-interval may be adjusted for requests dispersal	update_interval / 10
full-update-interval	interval between full updates	–
full-update-jitter	max. amount of time by which full-update-interval may be adjusted for requests dispersal	full-update-interval / 10
updates-enabled	if false, cache updates are disabled (except for the first one if !first-update-fail-ok)	true
first-update-fail-ok	whether first update failure is non-fatal	false
task-processor	the name of the TaskProcessor for running DoWork	main-task-processor
config-settings	enables dynamic reconfiguration with CacheConfigSet	true
exception-interval	Used instead of `update-interval` in case of exception	update_interval
additional-cleanup-interval	how often to run background RCU garbage collector	10 seconds
is-strong-period	whether to include Update execution time in update-interval	false
testsuite-force-periodic-update	override testsuite-periodic-update-enabled in TestsuiteSupport component config	–
failed-updates-before-expiration	the number of consecutive failed updates for data expiration	–
has-pre-assign-check	enables the check before changing the value in the cache, by default it is the check that the new value is not empty	false
alert-on-failing-to-update-times	fire an alert if the cache update failed specified amount of times in a row. If zero - alerts are disabled. Value from dynamic config takes priority over static	0
dump.*	Manages cache behavior after dump load	-
dump.first-update-mode	Behavior of update after successful load from dump. See info on modes below	skip
dump.first-update-type	Update type after successful load from dump (`full`, `incremental` or `incremental-then-async-full`)	full

Update types

full-and-incremental: both update-interval and full-update-interval must be specified. Updates with UpdateType::kIncremental will be triggered each update-interval (adjusted by jitter) unless full-update-interval has passed and UpdateType::kFull is triggered.
only-full: only update-interval must be specified. UpdateType::kFull will be triggered each update-interval (adjusted by jitter).
only-incremental: only update-interval must be specified. UpdateType::kFull is triggered on the first update, afterwards UpdateType::kIncremental will be triggered each update-interval (adjusted by jitter).

Avoiding memory leaks

If you don't implement the deletion of objects that are deleted from the data source and don't use full updates, you may get an effective memory leak, because garbage objects will pile up in the cached data.

Calculation example:

size of database: 1000 objects
removal rate: 30 objects per minute (0.5 objects per second)

Let's say we allow 20% extra garbage objects in cache in addition to the actual objects from the database. In this case we need:

full-update-interval = (size-of-database * 20% / removal-rate) = 400s

`first-update-mode` modes

Mode	Description
`skip`	after successful load from dump, do nothing
`required`	make a synchronous update of type `first-update-type`, stop the service on failure
`best-effort`	make a synchronous update of type `first-update-type`, keep working and use data from dump on failure

testsuite-force-periodic-update

use it to enable periodic cache update for a component in testsuite environment where testsuite-periodic-update-enabled from TestsuiteSupport config is false

By default, update types are guessed based on update intervals presence. If both update-interval and full-update-interval are present, full-and-incremental types is assumed. Otherwise only-full is used.

See also: dump::Dumper for more info on persistent cache dumps and corresponding config options.; Basics of Caches. pytest_userver.client.Client.invalidate_caches() for a function to force cache update from testsuite.
