28 * Multi-datacenter aware caching interface
30 * All operations go to the local datacenter cache, except for delete(),
31 * touchCheckKey(), and resetCheckKey(), which broadcast to all datacenters.
33 * This class is intended for caching data from primary stores.
34 * If the get() method does not return a value, then the caller
35 * should query the new value and backfill the cache using set().
36 * When querying the store on cache miss, the closest DB replica
37 * should be used. Try to avoid heavyweight DB master or quorum reads.
38 * When the source data changes, a purge method should be called.
39 * Since purges are expensive, they should be avoided. One can do so if:
40 * - a) The object cached is immutable; or
41 * - b) Validity is checked against the source after get(); or
42 * - c) Using a modest TTL is reasonably correct and performant
44 * The simplest purge method is delete().
46 * Instances of this class must be configured to point to a valid
47 * PubSub endpoint, and there must be listeners on the cache servers
48 * that subscribe to the endpoint and update the caches.
50 * Broadcasted operations like delete() and touchCheckKey() are done
51 * synchronously in the local datacenter, but are relayed asynchronously.
52 * This means that callers in other datacenters will see older values
53 * for however many milliseconds the datacenters are apart. As with
54 * any cache, this should not be relied on for cases where reads are
55 * used to determine writes to source (e.g. non-cache) data stores.
57 * All values are wrapped in metadata arrays. Keys use a "WANCache:" prefix
58 * to avoid collisions with keys that are not wrapped as metadata arrays. The
59 * prefixes are as follows:
60 * - a) "WANCache:v" : used for regular value keys
61 * - b) "WANCache:s" : used for temporarily storing values of tombstoned keys
62 * - c) "WANCache:t" : used for storing timestamp "check" keys

420 * Purge a key from all datacenters
422 * This should only be called when the underlying data (being cached)
423 * changes in a significant way. This deletes the key and starts a hold-off
424 * period where the key cannot be written to for a few seconds (HOLDOFF_TTL).
425 * This is done to avoid the following race condition:
426 * - a) Some DB data changes and delete() is called on a corresponding key
427 * - b) A request refills the key with a stale value from a lagged DB
428 * - c) The stale value is stuck there until the key is expired/evicted
430 * This is implemented by storing a special "tombstone" value at the cache
431 * key that this class recognizes; get() calls will return false for the key
432 * and any set() calls will refuse to replace tombstone values at the key.
433 * For this to always avoid stale value writes, the following must hold:
434 * - a) Replication lag is bounded to being less than HOLDOFF_TTL; or
435 * - b) If lag is higher, the DB will have gone into read-only mode already
437 * Note that set() can also be lag-aware and lower the TTL if it's high.
439 * When using potentially long-running ACID transactions, a good pattern is
440 * to use a pre-commit hook to issue the delete. This means that immediately
441 * after commit, callers will see the tombstone in cache in the local datacenter
442 * and in the others upon relay. It also avoids the following race condition:
443 * - a) T1 begins, changes a row, and calls delete()
444 * - b) The HOLDOFF_TTL passes, expiring the delete() tombstone
445 * - c) T2 starts, reads the row and calls set() due to a cache miss
446 * - d) T1 finally commits
447 * - e) Stale value is stuck in cache
451 * $dbw->begin(); // start of request
452 * ... <execute some stuff> ...
453 * // Update the row in the DB
454 * $dbw->update( ... );
455 * $key = $cache->makeKey( 'homes', $homeId );

458 * $cache->delete( $key );
460 * ... <execute some stuff> ...
461 * $dbw->commit(); // end of request
464 * The $ttl parameter can be used when purging values that have not actually changed
465 * recently. For example, a cleanup script to purge cache entries does not really need
466 * a hold-off period, so it can use HOLDOFF_NONE. Likewise for user-requested purge.
467 * Note that $ttl limits the effective range of 'lockTSE' for getWithSetCallback().
469 * If called twice on the same key, then the last hold-off TTL takes precedence. For
470 * idempotence, the $ttl should not vary for different delete() calls on the same key.

612 * Method to fetch/regenerate cache keys
614 * On cache miss, the key will be set to the callback result via set()
615 * (unless the callback returns false) and that result will be returned.
616 * The arguments supplied to the callback are:
617 * - $oldValue : current cache value or false if not present
618 * - &$ttl : a reference to the TTL which can be altered
619 * - &$setOpts : a reference to options for set() which can be altered
621 * It is strongly recommended to set the 'lag' and 'since' fields to avoid race conditions
622 * that can cause stale values to get stuck at keys. Usually, callbacks ignore the current
623 * value, but it can be used to maintain "most recent X" values that come from time or
624 * sequence based source data, provided that the "as of" id/time is tracked. Note that
625 * preemptive regeneration and $checkKeys can result in a non-false current value.
627 * Usage of $checkKeys is similar to get() and getMulti(). However, rather than the caller
628 * having to inspect a "current time left" variable (e.g. $curTTL, $curTTLs), a cache
629 * regeneration will automatically be triggered using the callback.
631 * The simplest way to avoid stampedes for hot keys is to use
632 * the 'lockTSE' option in $opts. If cache purges are needed, also:
633 * - a) Pass $key into $checkKeys
634 * - b) Use touchCheckKey( $key ) instead of delete( $key )
636 * Example usage (typical key):
638 * $catInfo = $cache->getWithSetCallback(
639 * // Key to store the cached value under
640 * $cache->makeKey( 'cat-attributes', $catId ),
641 * // Time-to-live (in seconds)
642 * $cache::TTL_MINUTE,
643 * // Function that derives the new key value
644 * function ( $oldValue, &$ttl, array &$setOpts ) {
645 * $dbr = wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE );
646 * // Account for any snapshot/slave lag
647 * $setOpts += Database::getCacheSetOptions( $dbr );
649 * return $dbr->selectRow( ... );
654 * Example usage (key that is expensive and hot):
656 * $catConfig = $cache->getWithSetCallback(
657 * // Key to store the cached value under
658 * $cache->makeKey( 'site-cat-config' ),
659 * // Time-to-live (in seconds)
661 * // Function that derives the new key value
662 * function ( $oldValue, &$ttl, array &$setOpts ) {
663 * $dbr = wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE );
664 * // Account for any snapshot/slave lag
665 * $setOpts += Database::getCacheSetOptions( $dbr );
667 * return CatConfig::newFromRow( $dbr->selectRow( ... ) );
670 * // Calling touchCheckKey() on this key invalidates the cache
671 * 'checkKeys' => array( $cache->makeKey( 'site-cat-config' ) ),
672 * // Try to only let one datacenter thread manage cache updates at a time
678 * Example usage (key with dynamic dependencies):
680 * $catState = $cache->getWithSetCallback(
681 * // Key to store the cached value under
682 * $cache->makeKey( 'cat-state', $cat->getId() ),
683 * // Time-to-live (seconds)
685 * // Function that derives the new key value
686 * function ( $oldValue, &$ttl, array &$setOpts ) {
687 * // Determine new value from the DB
688 * $dbr = wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE );
689 * // Account for any snapshot/slave lag
690 * $setOpts += Database::getCacheSetOptions( $dbr );
692 * return CatState::newFromResults( $dbr->select( ... ) );
695 * // The "check" keys that represent things the value depends on;
696 * // Calling touchCheckKey() on any of them invalidates the cache
697 * 'checkKeys' => array(
698 * $cache->makeKey( 'sustenance-bowls', $cat->getRoomId() ),
699 * $cache->makeKey( 'people-present', $cat->getHouseId() ),
700 * $cache->makeKey( 'cat-laws', $cat->getCityId() ),
706 * Example usage (hot key holding most recent 100 events):
708 * $lastCatActions = $cache->getWithSetCallback(
709 * // Key to store the cached value under
710 * $cache->makeKey( 'cat-last-actions', 100 ),
711 * // Time-to-live (in seconds)
713 * // Function that derives the new key value
714 * function ( $oldValue, &$ttl, array &$setOpts ) {
715 * $dbr = wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE );
716 * // Account for any snapshot/slave lag
717 * $setOpts += Database::getCacheSetOptions( $dbr );
719 * // Start off with the last cached list
720 * $list = $oldValue ?: array();
721 * // Fetch the last 100 relevant rows in descending order;
722 * // only fetch rows newer than $list[0] to reduce scanning
723 * $rows = iterator_to_array( $dbr->select( ... ) );
724 * // Merge them and get the new "last 100" rows
725 * return array_slice( array_merge( $new, $list ), 0, 100 );

744 * this. It becomes more likely over time, becoming a certainty once the key is expired.
745 * Default: WANObjectCache::LOW_TTL seconds.
746 * - lockTSE: If the key is tombstoned or expired (by checkKeys) less than this many seconds
747 * ago, then try to have a single thread handle cache regeneration at any given time.
748 * Other threads will try to use stale values if possible. If, on miss, the time since

756 * returns false however. Note that any purges will not be seen while process cached;
