24 * Multi-datacenter aware caching interface
25 *
26 * All operations go to the local cache, except the delete()
27 * and touchCheckKey(), which broadcast to all clusters.
28 * This class is intended for caching data from primary stores.
29 * If the get() method does not return a value, then the caller
30 * should query the new value and backfill the cache using set().
31 * When the source data changes, the delete() method should be called.
32 * Since delete() is expensive, it should be avoided. One can do so if:
33 * - a) The object cached is immutable; or
34 * - b) Validity is checked against the source after get(); or
35 * - c) Using a modest TTL is reasonably correct and performant
36 * Consider using getWithSetCallback() instead of the get()/set() cycle.
37 *
38 * Instances of this class must be configured to point to a valid
39 * PubSub endpoint, and there must be listeners on the cache servers
40 * that subscribe to the endpoint and update the caches.
41 *
42 * Broadcasted operations like delete() and touchCheckKey() are done
43 * synchronously in the local cluster, but are relayed asynchronously.
44 * This means that callers in other datacenters will see older values
45 * for a however many milliseconds the datacenters are apart. As with
46 * any cache, this should not be relied on for cases where reads are
47 * used to determine writes to source (e.g. non-cache) data stores.
48 *
49 * All values are wrapped in metadata arrays. Keys use a "WANCache:" prefix
50 * to avoid collisions with keys that are not wrapped as metadata arrays. The
51 * prefixes are as follows:
52 * - a) "WANCache:v" : used for regular value keys
53 * - b) "WANCache:s" : used for temporarily storing values of tombstoned keys
54 * - c) "WANCache:t" : used for storing timestamp "check" keys

301 * Method to fetch/regenerate cache keys
302 *
303 * On cache miss, the key will be set to the callback result.
304 * The callback function returns the new value given the current
305 * value (false if not present). If false is returned, then nothing
306 * will be saved to cache.
307 *
308 * Usually, callbacks ignore the current value, but it can be used
309 * to maintain "most recent X" values that come from time or sequence
310 * based source data, provided that the "as of" id/time is tracked.
311 *
312 * Usage of $checkKeys is similar to get()/getMulti(). However,
313 * rather than the caller having to inspect a "current time left"
314 * variable (e.g. $curTTL, $curTTLs), a cache regeneration will be
315 * triggered using the callback.
316 *
317 * The simplest way to avoid stampedes for hot keys is to use
318 * the 'lockTSE' option in $opts. If cache purges are needed, also:
319 * a) Pass $key into $checkKeys
320 * b) Use touchCheckKey( $key ) instead of delete( $key )
321 * Following this pattern lets the old cache be used until a
322 * single thread updates it as needed. Also consider tweaking
323 * the 'lowTTL' parameter.
324 *
325 * Example usage:
326 * @code
327 * $key = wfMemcKey( 'cat-recent-actions', $catId );
328 * // Function that derives the new key value given the old value
329 * $callback = function( $cValue ) { ... };
330 * // Get the key value from cache or from source on cache miss;
331 * // try to only let one cluster thread manage doing cache updates
332 * $opts = array( 'lockTSE' => 5, 'lowTTL' => 10 );
333 * $value = $cache->getWithSetCallback( $key, $callback, 60, array(), $opts );
334 * @endcode
335 *
336 * Example usage:
337 * @code
338 * $key = wfMemcKey( 'cat-state', $catId );
339 * // The "check" keys that represent things the value depends on;
340 * // Calling touchCheckKey() on them invalidates "cat-state"
341 * $checkKeys = array(
342 * wfMemcKey( 'water-bowls', $houseId ),

364 * - lockTSE : if the key is tombstoned or expired (by $checkKeys) less
365 * than this many seconds ago, then try to have a single
366 * thread handle cache regeneration at any given time.
367 * Other threads will try to use stale values if possible.
368 * If, on miss, the time since expiration is low, the assumption
369 * is that the key is hot and that a stampede is worth avoiding.
370 * - tempTTL : when 'lockTSE' is set, this determines the TTL of the temp
