Class CacheBuilderSpec


  • @GwtIncompatible
    public final class CacheBuilderSpec
    extends Object
    A specification of a CacheBuilder configuration.

    CacheBuilderSpec supports parsing configuration off of a string, which makes it especially useful for command-line configuration of a CacheBuilder.

    The string syntax is a series of comma-separated keys or key-value pairs, each corresponding to a CacheBuilder method.

    The set of supported keys will grow as CacheBuilder evolves, but existing keys will never be removed.

    Durations are represented by an integer, followed by one of "d", "h", "m", or "s", representing days, hours, minutes, or seconds respectively. (There is currently no syntax to request expiration in milliseconds, microseconds, or nanoseconds.)

    Whitespace before and after commas and equal signs is ignored. Keys may not be repeated; it is also illegal to use the following pairs of keys in a single value:

    • maximumSize and maximumWeight
    • softValues and weakValues

    CacheBuilderSpec does not support configuring CacheBuilder methods with non-value parameters. These must be configured in code.

    A new CacheBuilder can be instantiated from a CacheBuilderSpec using CacheBuilder.from(CacheBuilderSpec) or CacheBuilder.from(String).

      • parse

        public static CacheBuilderSpec parse​(String cacheBuilderSpecification)
        Creates a CacheBuilderSpec from a string.
        Parameters:
        cacheBuilderSpecification - the string form
      • toParsableString

        public String toParsableString()
        Returns a string that can be used to parse an equivalent CacheBuilderSpec. The order and form of this representation is not guaranteed, except that reparsing its output will produce a CacheBuilderSpec equal to this instance.
      • toString

        public String toString()
        Returns a string representation for this CacheBuilderSpec instance. The form of this representation is not guaranteed.
        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
