package Cache::FastMmap;
=head1 NAME
Cache::FastMmap - Uses an mmap'ed file to act as a shared memory interprocess cache
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Cache::FastMmap;
# Uses vaguely sane defaults
$Cache = Cache::FastMmap->new();
# $Value must be a reference...
$Cache->set($Key, $Value);
$Value = $Cache->get($Key);
$Cache = Cache::FastMmap->new(raw_values => 1);
# $Value can't be a reference...
$Cache->set($Key, $Value);
$Value = $Cache->get($Key);
=head1 ABSTRACT
A shared memory cache through an mmap'ed file. It's core is written
in C for performance. It uses fcntl locking to ensure multiple
processes can safely access the cache at the same time. It uses
a basic LRU algorithm to keep the most used entries in the cache.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
In multi-process environments (eg mod_perl, forking daemons, etc),
it's common to want to cache information, but have that cache
shared between processes. Many solutions already exist, and may
suit your situation better:
=over 4
=item *
L<MLDBM::Sync> - acts as a database, data is not automatically
expired, slow
=item *
L<IPC::MM> - hash implementation is broken, data is not automatically
expired, slow
=item *
L<Cache::FileCache> - lots of features, slow
=item *
L<Cache::SharedMemoryCache> - lots of features, VERY slow. Uses
IPC::ShareLite which freeze/thaws ALL data at each read/write
=item *
L<DBI> - use your favourite RDBMS. can perform well, need a
DB server running. very global. socket connection latency
=item *
L<Cache::Mmap> - similar to this module, in pure perl. slows down
with larger pages
=item *
L<BerkeleyDB> - very fast (data ends up mostly in shared memory
cache) but acts as a database overall, so data is not automatically
expired
=back
In the case I was working on, I needed:
=over 4
=item *
Automatic expiry and space management
=item *
Very fast access to lots of small items
=item *
The ability to fetch/store many items in one go
=back
Which is why I developed this module. It tries to be quite
efficient through a number of means:
=over 4
=item *
Core code is written in C for performance
=item *
It uses multiple pages within a file, and uses Fcntl to only lock
a page at a time to reduce contention when multiple processes access
the cache.
=item *
It uses a dual level hashing system (hash to find page, then hash
within each page to find a slot) to make most C<get()> calls O(1) and
fast
=item *
On each C<set()>, if there are slots and page space available, only
the slot has to be updated and the data written at the end of the used
data space. If either runs out, a re-organisation of the page is
performed to create new slots/space which is done in an efficient way
=back
The class also supports read-through, and write-back or write-through
callbacks to access the real data if it's not in the cache, meaning that
code like this:
my $Value = $Cache->get($Key);
if (!defined $Value) {
$Value = $RealDataSource->get($Key);
$Cache->set($Key, $Value)
}
Isn't required, you instead specify in the constructor:
Cache::FastMmap->new(
...
context => $RealDataSourceHandle,
read_cb => sub { $_[0]->get($_[1]) },
write_cb => sub { $_[0]->set($_[1], $_[2]) },
);
And then:
my $Value = $Cache->get($Key);
$Cache->set($Key, $NewValue);
Will just work and will be read/written to the underlying data source as
needed automatically.
=head1 PERFORMANCE
If you're storing relatively large and complex structures into
the cache, then you're limited by the speed of the Storable module.
If you're storing simple structures, or raw data, then
Cache::FastMmap has noticeable performance improvements.
See L<http://cpan.robm.fastmail.fm/cache_perf.html> for some
comparisons to other modules.
=head1 COMPATIABILITY
Cache::FastMmap uses mmap to map a file as the shared cache space,
and fcntl to do page locking. This means it should work on most
UNIX like operating systems, but will not work on Windows or
Win32 like environments.
=head1 MEMORY SIZE
Because Cache::FastMmap mmap's a shared file into your processes memory
space, this can make each process look quite large, even though it's just
mmap'd memory that's shared between all processes that use the cache,
and may even be swapped out if the cache is getting low usage.
However, the OS will think your process is quite large, which might
mean you hit some BSD::Resource or 'ulimits' you set previously that you
thought were sane, but aren't anymore, so be aware.
=head1 USAGE
Because the cache uses shared memory through an mmap'd file, you have
to make sure each process connects up to the file. There's probably
two main ways to do this:
=over 4
=item *
Create the cache in the parent process, and then when it forks, each
child will inherit the same file descriptor, mmap'ed memory, etc and
just work.
=item *
Explicitly connect up in each forked child to the share file
=back
The first way is usually the easiest. If you're using the cache in a
Net::Server based module, you'll want to open the cache in the
C<pre_loop_hook>, because that's executed before the fork, but after
the process ownership has changed and any chroot has been done.
In mod_perl, just open the cache at the global level in the appropriate
module, which is executed as the server is starting and before it
starts forking children, but you'll probably want to chmod or chown
the file to the permissions of the apache process.

# }}}
=item I<new(%Opts)>
Create a new Cache::FastMmap object.
Basic global parameters are:
=over 4
=item * B<share_file>
File to mmap for sharing of data (default on unix: /tmp/sharefile-$pid-$time,
default on windows: c:\sharefile-$pid-$time)
=item * B<init_file>
Clear any existing values and re-initialise file. Useful to do in a
parent that forks off children to ensure that file is empty at the start
(default: 0)
B<Note:> This is quite important to do in the parent to ensure a
consistent file structure. The shared file is not perfectly transaction
safe, and so if a child is killed at the wrong instant, it might leave
the the cache file in an inconsistent state.
=item * B<raw_values>
Store values as raw binary data rather than using Storable to free/thaw
data structures (default: 0)
=item * B<expire_time>
Maximum time to hold values in the cache in seconds. A value of 0
means does no explicit expiry time, and values are expired only based
on LRU usage. Can be expressed as 1m, 1h, 1d for minutes/hours/days
respectively. (default: 0)
=back
You may specify the cache size as:
=over 4
=item * B<cache_size>
Size of cache. Can be expresses as 1k, 1m for kilobytes or megabytes
respectively. Automatically guesses page size/page count values.
=back
Or specify explicit page size/page count values. If none of these are
specified, the values page_size = 64k and num_pages = 89 are used.
=over 4
=item * B<page_size>
Size of each page. Must be a power of 2 between 4k and 1024k. If not,
is rounded to the nearest value.
=item * B<num_pages>
Number of pages. Should be a prime number for best hashing
=back
The cache allows the use of callbacks for reading/writing data to an
underlying data store.
=over 4
=item * B<context>
Opaque reference passed as the first parameter to any callback function
if specified
=item * B<read_cb>
Callback to read data from the underlying data store. Called as:
$read_cb->($context, $Key)
Should return the value to use. This value will be saved in the cache
for future retrievals. Return undef if there is no value for the
given key
=item * B<write_cb>
Callback to write data to the underlying data store.
Called as:
$write_cb->($context, $Key, $Value, $ExpiryTime)
In 'write_through' mode, it's always called as soon as a I<set(...)>
is called on the Cache::FastMmap class. In 'write_back' mode, it's
called when a value is expunged from the cache if it's been changed
by a I<set(...)> rather than read from the underlying store with the
I<read_cb> above.
Note: Expired items do result in the I<write_cb> being
called if 'write_back' caching is enabled and the item has been
changed. You can check the $ExpiryTime against C<time()> if you only
want to write back values which aren't expired.
Also remember that I<write_cb> may be called in a different process
to the one that placed the data in the cache in the first place
=item * B<delete_cb>
Callback to delete data from the underlying data store. Called as:
$delete_cb->($context, $Key)
Called as soon as I<remove(...)> is called on the Cache::FastMmap class
=item * B<cache_not_found>
If set to true, then if the I<read_cb> is called and it returns
undef to say nothing was found, then that information is stored
in the cache, so that next time a I<get(...)> is called on that
key, undef is returned immediately rather than again calling
the I<read_cb>
=item * B<write_action>
Either 'write_back' or 'write_through'. (default: write_through)
=item * B<allow_recursive>
If you're using a callback function, then normally the cache is not
re-enterable, and attempting to call a get/set on the cache will
cause an error. By setting this to one, the cache will unlock any
pages before calling the callback. During the unlock time, other
processes may change data in current cache page, causing possible
unexpected effects. You shouldn't set this unless you know you
want to be able to recall to the cache within a callback.
(default: 0)
=item * B<empty_on_exit>
When you have 'write_back' mode enabled, then
you really want to make sure all values from the cache are expunged
when your program exits so any changes are written back.
The trick is that we only want to do this in the parent process,
we don't want any child processes to empty the cache when they exit.
So if you set this, it takes the PID via $$, and only calls
empty in the DESTROY method if $$ matches the pid we captured
at the start. (default: 0)
=item * B<unlink_on_exit>
Unlink the share file when the cache is destroyed.
As with empty_on_exit, this will only unlink the file if the
DESTROY occurs in the same PID that the cache was created in
so that any forked children don't unlink the file.
This value defaults to 1 if the share_file specified does
not already exist. If the share_file specified does already
exist, it defaults to 0.

=item I<get_and_set($Key, $Sub)>
Atomically retrieve and set the value of a Key.
The page is locked while retrieving the $Key and is unlocked only after
the value is set, thus guaranteeing the value does not change betwen
the get and set operations.
$Sub is a reference to a subroutine that is called to calculate the
new value to store. $Sub gets $Key and the current value
as parameters, and
should return the new value to set in the cache for the given $Key.
For example, to atomically increment a value in the cache, you
can just use:
$Cache->get_and_set($Key, sub { return ++$_[1]; });
The return value from this function is the new value stored back
into the cache.
Notes:
=over 4
=item *
Do not perform any get/set operations from the callback sub, as these
operations lock the page and you may end up with a dead lock!

If your sub does a die/throws an exception, this will be caught
to allow the pack to be unlocked, and then rethrown (1.15 onwards)

=item I<multi_get($PageKey, [ $Key1, $Key2, ... ])>
The two multi_xxx routines act a bit differently to the
other routines. With the multi_get, you pass a separate
PageKey value and then multiple keys. The PageKey value
is hashed, and that page locked. Then that page is
searched for each key. It returns a hash ref of
Key => Value items found in that page in the cache.
The main advantage of this is just a speed one, if you
happen to need to search for a lot of items on each call.
For instance, say you have users and a bunch of pieces
of separate information for each user. On a particular
run, you need to retrieve a sub-set of that information
for a user. You could do lots of get() calls, or you
could use the 'username' as the page key, and just
use one multi_get() and multi_set() call instead.
A couple of things to note:
=over 4
=item 1.
This makes multi_get()/multi_set() and get()/set()
incompatiable. Don't mix calls to the two, because
you won't find the data you're expecting
=item 2.
The writeback and callback modes of operation do
not work with multi_get()/multi_set(). Don't attempt
to use them together.

=item *
Default share_file name is no-longer /tmp/sharefile, but /tmp/sharefile-$pid-$time.
This ensures that different runs/processes don't interfere with each other, but
means you may not connect up to the file you expect. You should be choosing an
explicit name in most cases.
=item *
The new option unlink_on_exit defaults to true if you pass a filename for the
share_file which doesn't already exist. This means if you have one process that
creates the file, and another that expects the file to be there, by default it
won't be.
Otherwise the defaults seem sensible to cleanup unneeded share files rather than
leaving them around to accumulate.
