Description

The interface serves as a foundational structure and set of methods specifically tailored to manage caches, optimizing the performance of the system by efficiently storing and retrieving values, thereby reducing the need for repeated computations.

store

Stores value in the cache with expiration time.

Object store(IContext context, String key, Object value, long timeout)

• context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through call chain.
• key: String - a unique value key.
• value: Object - a value to store.
• timeout: long - expiration timeout in milliseconds.
• returns: Object - The value that was stored in the cache.
