Class SpaceEvictionStrategy

java.lang.Object
  com.gigaspaces.server.eviction.SpaceEvictionStrategy

public abstract class SpaceEvictionStrategy
extends Object

Base class for space eviction strategy implementations. When the space memory manager detects that memory is becoming scarce, it will try to evict entries from the space. The eviction strategy can be altered by using different SpaceEvictionStrategy implementations.

Method Summary

void	close() Called when the space is closed.
abstract int	evict(int numOfEntries) Called when the space requires entries to be evicted.
protected SpaceEvictionStrategyConfig	getEvictionConfig() Returns the eviction configuration provided during initialization.
protected SpaceEvictionManager	getEvictionManager() Returns the eviction manager provided during initialization.
void	initialize(SpaceEvictionManager evictionManager, SpaceEvictionStrategyConfig config) Called during the space initialization.
protected boolean	isClosed() Returns true if the space is closed, false otherwise.
void	onInsert(EvictableServerEntry entry) Called when a new entry is written to the space.
void	onLoad(EvictableServerEntry entry) Called when an entry is loaded into the space from an external data source.
void	onRead(EvictableServerEntry entry) Called when an entry is read from the space.
void	onRemove(EvictableServerEntry entry) Called when an entry is removed from the space.
void	onUpdate(EvictableServerEntry entry) Called when an entry is updated in the space.
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.

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

onRemove

public void onRemove(EvictableServerEntry entry)

Called when an entry is removed from the space.

Parameters:

entry - The removed entry

evict

public abstract int evict(int numOfEntries)

Called when the space requires entries to be evicted.

Parameters:

numOfEntries - Number of entries to be evicted

Returns:

The number of entries actually evicted

getEvictionManager

protected SpaceEvictionManager getEvictionManager()
