External/Event Based Cache Invalidation (somewhat long)

Posted by Geoff Howard <co...@leverageweb.com>.
Below is the larger picture I envision for a new kind of cache
invaliditation
that I've needed in the past and comes up in requests from people using EJB
or
database driven data that is cacheable.  I'd love feedback from anyone who's
interested.  I've BCC'd a few people who I've talked with about this in the
past.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've committed some little things into the cocoon scratchpad - part of some
experimental work for external cache invalidation, which as I've thought
about it is really "event" based cache invalidation.

Why? Because the events need not be external to Cocoon, and when you think
about it, all cache validities are "external" in that the Cache validity
object needs to consult some external reference - the filesystem, the system
time, etc.

But event based invalidation has some differences in the way they need to be
handled.  The other validities can reasonably be expected to check with
their
external resources (time, filesystem, etc) when retrieved from cache and
isValid() is called.  But with events, the subsystem which received the
events
would need to store them all up waiting for the call to isValid() which
depending on other factors might never come.  It seems to me more fitting
with the transient nature of events to act on them when they arrive and then
discard them.

That leaves only several choices
- make the event know about what cache keys it needs to remove.  This is
the only solution currently available and it has in practice meant hard
coding the event-key relationship somewhere and manually maintaining it.
Not good IMHO.
- search through every cached item on the receipt of an event to see if
it is now invalid in light of the current event.  Also not good.
- Extend the cache to provide support for the cache-event concept.  This is
the tack I'm taking.  Essentially, this solution involves the CacheImpl
keeping track of mapping the Event's declared in an EventValidity to the
key under which that response is stored in the cache.

The "glue" that is missing is the org.apache.cocoon.caching.impl.CacheImpl
extension, because it won't compile without the change I made to
sourceresolve,
which is not yet in cocoon's cvs.  For some odd reason I'm having a hard
time
building the sourceresolve package using its build script.  It's also not
"done" as noted below - but I'd love others to be able to work on it.

Here are the issues the "event aware" CacheImpl would need to take care of:
- during store() it gets the SourceValidity[] from the CachedResponse and
looks for instanceof EventValidity (recursively for AggregatedValidity).
- if found, it calls EventValidity.getEvent() and stores the key-event
mapping.
- expose a removeByEvent(Event e) method that can be called by the specific
event-handling component.  This could be a jms listener (as I've orginally
envisioned it) or an http/soap based system (as in the ESI patch that was in
bugzilla) or even a cocoon Action or Flow, or some combination of all of the
above.
- When the key is ejected from the cache for other reasons (another pipeline
component signalled invalid for example) I think it's necessary to at that
moment remove the event-key mapping entry.  This introduces a complication
in the data structure used to store these mappings as I mention below.  I
also haven't looked into the effect of the store janitor - if it acts
directly
on the Store without going through the CacheImpl wrapper, that introduces a
wrinkle.

Most of the above is accounted for - except for the data structure
to store the event-key mappings.  As discussed above, it needs to:
- allow duplicate keys (each event may uncache multiple pipelines, and each
pipeline might be uncached by any of multiple events).  So it needs a Bag.
- allow lookup of mappings based on either event or key.  Jakarta Commons
Collections has a DoubleOrderedMap, but not a DoubleOrderedBag.  Bummer.
- be persistent across shutdown and startup, and needs to recover gracefully
when the cache is missing (like when it's been manually deleted)
- be efficient

I have made an assumption so far that I'd like tested by some sharp minds.
When a removeByEvent() is received, the CacheImpl would do something like
PipelineCacheKey[] getByEvent() on its datastructure.  This would rely on
hashCode() and equals() of Event() to locate relevant events.  I think this
works well for true "equals" type of information: like "table_name" and
"primary_key" -- if they are both equal, the event has happened.  But there
may be some where a "greater than" or "less than" or worse yet, a kind of
wild card lookup might need to be supported.  Can that be accomodated by a
Collections sort of implementation, or does something more flexible need
to be invented? As it stands, you might implement hashCode() in a
way that will cause intentional collisions and rely on equals() to sort
things out.  Is that crazy?
