Interface IGenerationCache

All Superinterfaces:

ISimpleMap

All Known Implementing Classes:

DiscardingCache

public interface IGenerationCache
extends ISimpleMap

IGenerationCache is a simple map which keeps generations of key to value associations. The IGenerationCache has a time in milliseconds as the duration between to generations.

The idea is that the map keeps 2 generations. Each time interval (generation time) a new generation is born while the oldest one dies. Map entries, which are not accessed, age and will eventually be removed from the map. Entries which are accessed however get a rejuvenation treatment become part of the youngest generation again.
