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

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

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

591 * server, making it better for code that will cache many different keys
592 * and either does not use lockTSE or uses a low enough TTL anyway.
594 * This is typically useful for keys with dynamically generated names
595 * where a high number of combinations exist.
597 * Note that "check" keys won't collide with other regular keys.

610 // Publish the purge to all datacenters
611 return $this->relayDelete( $key ) && $ok;
615 * Method to fetch/regenerate cache keys
617 * On cache miss, the key will be set to the callback result via set()
618 * (unless the callback returns false) and that result will be returned.
619 * The arguments supplied to the callback are:
620 * - $oldValue : current cache value or false if not present
621 * - &$ttl : a reference to the TTL which can be altered
622 * - &$setOpts : a reference to options for set() which can be altered
624 * It is strongly recommended to set the 'lag' and 'since' fields to avoid race conditions
625 * that can cause stale values to get stuck at keys. Usually, callbacks ignore the current
626 * value, but it can be used to maintain "most recent X" values that come from time or
627 * sequence based source data, provided that the "as of" id/time is tracked. Note that
628 * preemptive regeneration and $checkKeys can result in a non-false current value.
630 * Usage of $checkKeys is similar to get() and getMulti(). However, rather than the caller
631 * having to inspect a "current time left" variable (e.g. $curTTL, $curTTLs), a cache
632 * regeneration will automatically be triggered using the callback.
634 * The simplest way to avoid stampedes for hot keys is to use
635 * the 'lockTSE' option in $opts. If cache purges are needed, also:
636 * - a) Pass $key into $checkKeys
637 * - b) Use touchCheckKey( $key ) instead of delete( $key )
639 * Example usage (typical key):
641 * $catInfo = $cache->getWithSetCallback(
642 * // Key to store the cached value under
643 * $cache->makeKey( 'cat-attributes', $catId ),
644 * // Time-to-live (in seconds)
645 * $cache::TTL_MINUTE,
646 * // Function that derives the new key value
647 * function ( $oldValue, &$ttl, array &$setOpts ) {
648 * $dbr = wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE );
649 * // Account for any snapshot/slave lag
650 * $setOpts += Database::getCacheSetOptions( $dbr );
652 * return $dbr->selectRow( ... );
657 * Example usage (key that is expensive and hot):
659 * $catConfig = $cache->getWithSetCallback(
660 * // Key to store the cached value under
661 * $cache->makeKey( 'site-cat-config' ),
662 * // Time-to-live (in seconds)
664 * // Function that derives the new key value
665 * function ( $oldValue, &$ttl, array &$setOpts ) {
666 * $dbr = wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE );
667 * // Account for any snapshot/slave lag
668 * $setOpts += Database::getCacheSetOptions( $dbr );
670 * return CatConfig::newFromRow( $dbr->selectRow( ... ) );
673 * // Calling touchCheckKey() on this key invalidates the cache
674 * 'checkKeys' => array( $cache->makeKey( 'site-cat-config' ) ),
675 * // Try to only let one datacenter thread manage cache updates at a time
681 * Example usage (key with dynamic dependencies):
683 * $catState = $cache->getWithSetCallback(
684 * // Key to store the cached value under
685 * $cache->makeKey( 'cat-state', $cat->getId() ),
686 * // Time-to-live (seconds)
688 * // Function that derives the new key value
689 * function ( $oldValue, &$ttl, array &$setOpts ) {
690 * // Determine new value from the DB
691 * $dbr = wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE );
692 * // Account for any snapshot/slave lag
693 * $setOpts += Database::getCacheSetOptions( $dbr );
695 * return CatState::newFromResults( $dbr->select( ... ) );
698 * // The "check" keys that represent things the value depends on;
699 * // Calling touchCheckKey() on any of them invalidates the cache
700 * 'checkKeys' => array(

702 * $cache->makeKey( 'people-present', $cat->getHouseId() ),
703 * $cache->makeKey( 'cat-laws', $cat->getCityId() ),
709 * Example usage (hot key holding most recent 100 events):
711 * $lastCatActions = $cache->getWithSetCallback(
712 * // Key to store the cached value under
713 * $cache->makeKey( 'cat-last-actions', 100 ),

716 * // Function that derives the new key value
717 * function ( $oldValue, &$ttl, array &$setOpts ) {
718 * $dbr = wfGetDB( DB_SLAVE );
719 * // Account for any snapshot/slave lag
720 * $setOpts += Database::getCacheSetOptions( $dbr );
722 * // Start off with the last cached list
723 * $list = $oldValue ?: array();
724 * // Fetch the last 100 relevant rows in descending order;
725 * // only fetch rows newer than $list[0] to reduce scanning
726 * $rows = iterator_to_array( $dbr->select( ... ) );

749 * - lockTSE: If the key is tombstoned or expired (by checkKeys) less than this many seconds

751 * Other threads will try to use stale values if possible. If, on miss, the time since
