clojure.core.cache
========================================

core.cache is a Clojure contrib library providing the following features:

* An underlying `CacheProtocol` used as the base abstraction for implementing new synchronous caches

* A `defcache` macro for hooking your `CacheProtocol` implementations into the Clojure associative data capabilities.

* Implementations of some basic caching strategies
  - First-in-first-out (FIFOCache)
  - Least-recently-used (LRUCache)
  - Least-used (LUCache -- sometimes called Least Frequently Used)
  - Time-to-live (TTLCacheQ)
  - Naive cache (BasicCache)
  - Naive cache backed with soft references (SoftCache)

* Implementation of an efficient buffer replacement policy based on the *low inter-reference recency set* algorithm (LIRSCache) described in the [LIRS](http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.116.2184) paper

* Factory functions for each existing cache type

* Caches are generally immutable and should be used in conjunction with Clojure's state management, such as `atom`. SoftCache is the exception here, built on top of mutable Java collections, but it can be treated as an immutable cache as well.

The `clojure.core.cache` namespace contains the immutable caches themselves.
The `clojure.core.cache.wrapped` namespace contains the same API operating on caches wrapped in atoms, which is the "normal" use in the wild (introduced in 0.8.0).

core.cache is based on an old library named Clache that has been thoroughly deprecated.


Releases and Dependency Information
========================================

This project follows the version scheme MAJOR.MINOR.COMMITS where MAJOR and MINOR provide some relative indication of the size of the change, but do not follow semantic versioning. In general, all changes endeavor to be non-breaking (by moving to new names rather than by breaking existing names). COMMITS is an ever-increasing counter of commits since the beginning of this repository.

Latest stable release: 1.0.207

* [All Released Versions](http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22org.clojure%22%20AND%20a%3A%22core.cache%22)

* [Development Snapshot Versions](https://oss.sonatype.org/index.html#nexus-search;gav~org.clojure~core.cache~~~)

[Leiningen](https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen) dependency information:

    [org.clojure/core.cache "1.0.207"]

[Maven](http://maven.apache.org/) dependency information:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.clojure</groupId>
      <artifactId>core.cache</artifactId>
      <version>1.0.207</version>
    </dependency>



Example Usage
========================================

```clojure
    (require '[clojure.core.cache :as cache])

    (def C1 (cache/fifo-cache-factory {:a 1, :b 2}))

    (def C1' (if (cache/has? C1 :c)
               (cache/hit C1 :c)
               (cache/miss C1 :c 42)))

    ;=> {:a 1, :b 2, :c 42}

    (cache/lookup C1' :c)

    ;=> 42

    (get C1' :c) ; cache/lookup is implemented as get

    ;=> 42

    ;; a shorthand for the above conditional...
    (def C1' (cache/through-cache C1 :c (constantly 42)))
    ;; ...which uses a value to compute the result from the key...
    (cache/through-cache C1 my-key (partial jdbc/get-by-id db-spec :storage))
    ;; ...so you could fetch values from a database if they're not in cache...

    (cache/evict C1 :b)

    ;=> {:a 1}

    ;; since the caches are immutable, you would normally wrap them in an atom
    (def C2 (atom (cache/fifo-cache-factory {:a 1, :b 2})))

    (swap! C2 cache/through-cache :d (constantly 13))

    ;=> {:a 1, :b 3, :d 13}

    (swap! C2 cache/evict :b)

    ;=> {:a 1, :d 13}

    (get @C2 :a)

    ;=> 1

    ;; or use the wrapped API instead:
    (require '[clojure.core.cache.wrapped :as c])

    (def C3 (c/fifo-cache-factory {:a 1, :b 2}))

    (c/through-cache C3 :d (constantly 13)) ; returns updated cache

    ;=> {:a 1, :b 3, :d 13}

    (c/evict C3 :b)

    ;=> {:a 1, :d 13}

    (c/lookup C3 :a) ; or (get @C3 :a)

    ;=> 1

    ;; unique to the wrapped API:
    (c/lookup-or-miss C3 :b (constantly 42))

    ;=> 42

    @C3

    ;=> {:a 1, :d 13, :b 42}
```
