DESCRIPTION

This module intends to extend the caching ability in Rose::DB::Object allowing objects to be cached wth Cache::FastMmap. This module was created becaue of speed issues with Rose::DBx::Object::Cached::CHI. Those issues arise do to the overhead that the CHI introduces to caching of objects.

Most of the code is taken straight from Rose::DB::Object::Cached. This does not extend Rose::DB::Object::Cached because function calls and how the cache is accessed needed to be changed thoughout the code.

MAJOR DIFFERENCE from Rose::DB::Object::Cached

All objects derived from a Rose::DBx::Object::Cached::FastMmap class are set and retrieved from FastMmap, therefore 2 objects that are loaded with the same parameters are not the same code reference.

In Rose::DB::Object::Cached

$cat1 = Category->new(id   => 123,
                        name => 'Art');

$cat1->save;

$cat2-> Category->new(id   => 123,
                        name => 'Art');
   
$cat2->load;

print $cat1->name; # prints "Art"

print $cat2->name; # prints "Art"

$cat1->name('Blah');

print $cat2->name; # prints "Blah"

In Rose::DBx::Object::Cached::FastMmap

$cat1 = Category->new(id   => 123,
                        name => 'Art');

$cat1->save;

$cat2-> Category->new(id   => 123,
                        name => 'Art');

$cat2->load;

print $cat1->name; # prints "Art"
print $cat2->name; # prints "Art"

$cat1->name('Blah');
print $cat2->name; # prints "Art"

GLOBALS

$SETTINGS

This global is used to set FastMmap settings for all objects derived from Rose::DBx::Object::Cached::FastMmap. Any settings here will override any default settings, but will conceded to settings configured by the class method cached_objects_settings

Example:

$Rose::DBx::Object::Cached::FastMmap::SETTINGS = { root_dir => '/tmp/global_fastmmap', };

CLASS METHODS

Only class methods that do not exist in Rose::DB::Object::Cached are listed here.

cached_objects_settings [PARAMS]

If called with no arguments this will return the current cache settings. PARAMS are any valid options for the Cache::FastMmap constructor.

Example:

Category->cached_objects_settings (
    root_dir   => '/tmp/global_fastmmap',
    expires_in    => '15m',
)

default_cached_objects_settings [PARAMS]

Returns the default FastMmap settings for the class. This method should be implemented by a sub class if custom settings are required.

package Category;
use base Rose::DBx::Object::Cached::FastMmap;

... 

sub default_cached_objects_settings (
    return {
        root_dir   => '/tmp/global_fastmmap',
        expires_in    => '15 minutes',
    };
)

OBJECT METHODS

Only object methods that do not exist in Rose::DB::Object::Cached are listed here.

PRIVATE METHODS

__xrdbopriv_clone

Calls the __xrdbopriv_clone method in Rose::DB::Object::Helpers

Because of the nature of Storable all objects set to cache are set by $object->__xrdbopriv_clone->__xrdbopriv_strip

__xrdbopriv_strip

Calls the __xrdbopriv_strip method in Rose::DB::Object::Helpers

Because of the nature of Storable all objects set to cache are set by $object->__xrdbopriv_clone->__xrdbopriv_strip

There is most likely at better and cheaper way to do this....

TODO

Tests

Currently tests only exist for MySQL. Almost all of these have been copied directly from the tests that exist for Rose::DB::Object.
