Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(SpaceEvictionManager evictionManager,
                       SpaceEvictionStrategyConfig config)

Called during the space initialization.

Parameters:

evictionManager -

config -

close

public void close()

Called when the space is closed.

requiresConcurrencyProtection

public boolean requiresConcurrencyProtection()

Due to the nature of the system, calls to onRemove(EvictableServerEntry) can occur in concurrent with either onRead(EvictableServerEntry) or onUpdate(EvictableServerEntry) or even before them. In order to prevent this behavior this property should return true (This is the default) and the system will guard this with locks. This should only be set to false by advanced usages which needs to be able to work under this behavior.

onInsert

public void onInsert(EvictableServerEntry entry)

Called when a new entry is written to the space.

Parameters:

entry - The new entry

onLoad

public void onLoad(EvictableServerEntry entry)

Called when an entry is loaded into the space from an external data source.

Parameters:

entry - The loaded entry

onRead

public void onRead(EvictableServerEntry entry)

Called when an entry is read from the space.

Parameters:

entry - The read entry

onUpdate

public void onUpdate(EvictableServerEntry entry)

Called when an entry is updated in the space.

Parameters:

entry - The updated entry

Parameters:

entry - The removed entry

The number of entries actually evicted
