BlockingCache

A blocking cache implementation.

Unlike asynchronous caches, this implementation doesn't allow subscribing to a value to see it change over time.

To instantiate this class, see the blocking helper.

Identifier

An identifier representing a cached object.

Failure

A cache value that represents a failure.

Value

A cache value that represents a success.

Functions

Tells the cache that the value it stores for id is out-of-date, and should be queried again the next time it is requested.

Tells the cache that the value it stores for the given ids are out-of-date, and should be queried again next time they are requested.

Tells the cache that all values are out-of-date, and should be queried again the next time they are requested.

Gets the value associated with id in the cache, at the current time.

Convenience function to access a value from infallible caches that are blocking.

operator fun set(id: Identifier, value: Value)

Forces the cache to accept value as a more recent value for the given id than whatever it was previously storing.

Forces the cache to accept the given values as more recent than their associated identifier than whatever was previously stored.
