RedisCache

Inherits: AbstractCache

Description

The RedisCache class allows you to create distributed caches that store values in a Redis in-memory database.

Configuration parameters

• connection(s):
  • discovery_key: (optional) key to retrieve the connection from IDiscovery
  • host: host name or IP address
  • port: port number
  • uri: resource URI or connection string with all parameters in it
• credential(s):
  • store_key: key to retrieve parameters from ICredentialStore
  • username: username (currently is not used)
  • password: user’s password
• options:
  • retries: number of retries (default: 3)
  • timeout: default caching timeout in milliseconds (default: 1 minute)
  • max_size: maximum number of values stored in this cache (default: 1000)

References

• *:discovery:*:*:1.0 - (optional) IDiscovery services
• *:credential-store:*:*:1.0 - (optional) ICredentialStore stores to resolve credentials

Constructors

Creates a new instance of this cache.

public RedisCache()

Fields

Instance methods

CloseAsync

Closes a component and frees used resources.

public Task CloseAsync(string correlationId)

• correlationId: string - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.

Configure

Configures a component by passing its configuration parameters.

public override void Configure(ConfigParams config)

• config: ConfigParams - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.

IsOpen

Checks if the component is open.

public bool IsOpen()

• returns: bool - true if the component has been opened and false otherwise.

Open

Opens the component.

public Task OpenAsync(string correlationId)

• correlationId: string - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.

RemoveAsync

Removes a value from the cache by its key.

public override Task RemoveAsync(string correlationId, string key)

• correlationId: string - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.
• key: string - unique value key.

Retrieve

Retrieves a cached value from the cache using its key. If the value is missing in the cache or has expired, it returns null.

public override Task<T> RetrieveAsync<T>(string correlationId, string key)

• correlationId: string - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.
• key: string - unique value key.
• returns: Task<T> - retrieved cached value or null if nothing was found.

SetReferences

Sets references to dependent components.

public void SetReferences(IReferences references)

• references: IReferences - references to locate the component’s dependencies.

Store

Stores a value in the cache with an expiration time.

public override Task<T> StoreAsync<T>(string correlationId, string key, T value, long timeout)

• correlationId: string - (optional) transaction id used to trace execution through the call chain.
• key: string - unique value key.
• value: T - value to store.
• timeout: long - expiration timeout in milliseconds.
• returns: Task<T> - stored value.

Examples

var cache = new RedisCache();
cache.configure(ConfigParams.FromTuples(
    "host", "localhost",
    "port", 6379));
cache.open("123");

cache.StoreAsync("123", "key1", "ABC");
