FileCache (All javadoc for netcdf-java version 4.6.22-SNAPSHOT)

java.lang.Object
- ucar.nc2.util.cache.FileCache

All Implemented Interfaces:

FileCacheIF

Direct Known Subclasses:

FileCacheNOP
```
@ThreadSafe
public class FileCache
extends java.lang.Object
implements FileCacheIF
```
Keep cache of open FileCacheable objects, for example NetcdfFile. The FileCacheable object typically contains a RandomAccessFile object that wraps a system resource like a file handle. These are left open when the FileCacheable is in the cache. The maximum number of these is bounded, though not strictly. A cleanup routine reduces cache size to a minimum number. This cleanup is called periodically in a background thread, and also when the maximum cache size is reached.
1. The FileCacheable object must not be modified.
2. The hashKey must uniquely define the FileCacheable object.
3. The location must be usable in a FileFactory.open().
4. If the FileCacheable is acquired from the cache (ie already open), getLastModified() is used to see if it has changed, and is discarded if so.
5. Make sure you call shutdown() when exiting the program, in order to shut down the cleanup thread.
Normal usage is through the NetcdfDataset interface:
```
 NetcdfDataset.initNetcdfFileCache(...); // on application startup
 ...
 NetcdfFile ncfile = null;
 try {
   ncfile = NetcdfDataset.acquireFile(location, cancelTask);
   ...
 } finally {
   if (ncfile != null) ncfile.close();
 }
 ...
 NetcdfDataset.shutdown();  // when terminating the application
 
```
All methods are thread safe. Cleanup is done automatically in a background thread, using LRU algorithm.

    Acquire a FileCacheable, and lock it so no one else can use it. call FileCacheable.close when done.
    
    Parameters:
    
    factory - use this factory to open the file; may not be null
    
    location - file location, also used as the cache name, will be passed to the NetcdfFileFactory
    
    cancelTask - user can cancel, ok to be null.
    
    Returns:
    
    NetcdfFile corresponding to location.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - on error
  - acquire
```
public FileCacheable acquire(FileFactory factory,
                             java.lang.String location)
                      throws java.io.IOException

  - acquire
```
public FileCacheable acquire(FileFactory factory,
                             java.lang.Object hashKey,
                             java.lang.String location,

                      throws java.io.IOException
```
    Acquire a FileCacheable from the cache, and lock it so no one else can use it. If not already in cache, open it the FileFactory, and put in cache.
    App should call FileCacheable.close when done, and the file is then released instead of closed.
    If cache size goes over maxElement, then immediately (actually in 100 msec) schedule a cleanup in a background thread. This means that the cache should never get much larger than maxElement, unless you have them all locked.
    
    Specified by:
    
    acquire in interface FileCacheIF
    
    Parameters:
    
    factory - use this factory to open the file if not in the cache; may not be null
    
    hashKey - unique key for this file. If null, the location will be used
    
    location - file location, may also used as the cache name, will be passed to the NetcdfFileFactory
    
    buffer_size - RandomAccessFile buffer size, if <= 0, use default size
    
    cancelTask - user can cancel, ok to be null.
    
    spiObject - passed to the factory if object needs to be recreated
    
    Returns:
    
    FileCacheable corresponding to location.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - on error
  - eject
```
public void eject(java.lang.Object hashKey)
```
    Remove all instances of object from the cache
    
    Specified by:
    
    eject in interface FileCacheIF
    
    Parameters:
    
    hashKey - the object
  - release
```
public boolean release(FileCacheable ncfile)
                throws java.io.IOException
```
    Release the file. This unlocks it, updates its lastAccessed date. Normally applications need not call this, just close the file as usual. The FileCacheable has to do tricky stuff.
    
    Specified by:
    
    release in interface FileCacheIF
    
    Parameters:
    
    ncfile - release this file.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if file was in cache, false if it was not
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - getInfo
```
public java.lang.String getInfo(FileCacheable ncfile)
                         throws java.io.IOException
```
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - clearCache
```
public void clearCache(boolean force)
```
    Remove all cache entries.
    
    Specified by:
    
    clearCache in interface FileCacheIF
    
    Parameters:
    
    force - if true, remove them even if they are currently locked.

    Add stat report (hits, misses, etc) to formatter.
    
    Specified by:
    
    showStats in interface FileCacheIF
    
    Parameters:
    
    format - add to this
