Detailed Description

Implementation of a caching mechanism.

The caching mechanism simply allows the user to create a cache. Cached files are typically specified by full path. The file name is changed by changing all slashes to pound signs (#), the ending extension is removed, and the specified prefix is prepended to the name of the cached file.

The purge method removes the oldest accessed files until the size of all files is less than that specified by the size in the constructors.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ BESCache() [1/2]

BESCache::BESCache ( const string &  cache_dir,
const string &  prefix,
unsigned int  size 
)

Constructor that takes as arguments the values of the cache dir, the file prefix, and the cache size.

Parameters
cache_dirdirectory where the files are cached
prefixprefix used to prepend to the resulting cached file
sizecache max size in megabytes (1 == 1048576 bytes)
Exceptions
BESSyntaxUserErrorif cache_dir or prefix is empty, if size is 0, or if the cache directory does not exist.

Definition at line 114 of file BESCache.cc.

◆ BESCache() [2/2]

BESCache::BESCache ( BESKeys keys,
const string &  cache_dir_key,
const string &  prefix_key,
const string &  size_key 
)

Constructor that takes as arguments keys to the cache directory, file prefix, and size of the cache to be looked up a configuration file.

The keys specified are looked up in the specified keys object. If not found or not set correctly then an exception is thrown. I.E., if the cache directory is empty, the size is zero, or the prefix is empty.

Parameters
keysBESKeys object used to look up the keys
cache_dir_keykey to look up in the keys file to find cache dir
prefix_keykey to look up in the keys file to find the cache prefix
size_keykey to look up in the keys file to find the cache size
Exceptions
BESSyntaxUserErrorif keys not set, cache dir or prefix empty, size is 0, or if cache dir does not exist.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ is_cached()

bool BESCache::is_cached ( const string &  src,
string &  target 
)
virtual

Determine if the file specified by src is cached.

The src is the full name of the file to be cached. We are assuming that the file name passed has an extension on the end that will be stripped once the file is cached. In other words, if the full path to the file name is /usr/lib/data/fnoc1.nc.gz (a compressed netcdf file) then the resulting file name set in target will be set to #<prefix>#usr#lib#data#fnoc1.nc.

Parameters
srcsrc file that will be cached eventually
targetset to the resulting cached file
Returns
true if the file is cached already

◆ lock()

bool BESCache::lock ( unsigned int  retry,
unsigned int  num_tries 
)
virtual

lock the cache using a file lock

if the cache has not already been locked, lock it using a file lock.

Exceptions
BESInternalErrorif the cache is already locked

◆ purge()

void BESCache::purge ( )
virtual

Check to see if the cache size exceeds the size specified in the constructor and purge older files until size is less.

Usually called prior to caching a new file, this method will purge any files, oldest to newest, if the current size of the cache exceeds the size of the cache specified in the constructor.

◆ unlock()

bool BESCache::unlock ( )
virtual

If the cache is locked, unlock it using the stored file lock descriptor

Exceptions
