CHI provides a unified caching API, designed to assist a developer
|
||
|
|
in persisting data for a specified period of time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The CHI interface is implemented by driver classes that support
|
||
|
|
fetching, storing and clearing of data. Driver classes exist or
|
||
|
|
will exist for the gamut of storage backends available to Perl,
|
||
|
|
such as memory, plain files, memory mapped files, memcached, and
|
||
|
|
DBI.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CHI is intended as an evolution of DeWitt Clinton's Cache::Cache
|
||
|
|
package, adhering to the basic Cache API but adding new features
|
||
|
|
and addressing limitations in the Cache::Cache implementation.
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
* Easy to create new drivers
|
||
|
|
* Uniform support for namespaces
|
||
|
|
* Automatic serialization of keys and values
|
||
|
|
* Multilevel caches
|
||
|
|
* Probabilistic expiration and busy locks, to reduce cache miss stampedes
|
||
|
|
* Optional logging and statistics collection of cache activity
