Mnemosyne

Mnemosyne

Mnemosyne (/nɪˈmɒzɪniː, nɪˈmɒsɪniː/; Greek: Μνημοσύνη, pronounced [mnɛːmosýːnɛː]) is a multilayer cache which can be configured to use various configurations of Redis and/or BigCache (an in-memory caching package) with minimum configuration out of the box.

Getting Started

Installing

go get -u github.com/cafebazaar/mnemosyne

Initializing a Manager and Selecting a Cache Instance

mnemosyneManager := mnemosyne.NewMnemosyne(config, nil, nil)
cacheInstance := mnemosyneManager.select("result-cache")

Working with a cacheInstance

  cacheInstance.Set(context, key, value)
  var myCachedData myType
  err := cacheInstance.Get(context, key, &myCachedData)
  // cache miss is also an Error

Configuration

Mnemosyne uses Viper as it's config engine. Template of each cache instance includes the list of the layers' names (in order of precedence) followed by configuration for each layer. here's an example:

cache:
  my-result-cache: # arbitary name for the cache instance
    soft-ttl: 2h 
    layers:   # Arbitary names for each cache layer
      - result-memory
      - result-gaurdian
    result-memory:
      type: memory
      max-memory: 512
      ttl: 2h
      amnesia: 10
      compression: true
    result-gaurdian:
      type: gaurdian
      address: "localhost:6379"
      slaves:
        - "localhost:6380"
        - "localhost:6381"
      db: 2
      ttl: 24h
      amnesia: 0
      compression: true
  my-user-cache:
    soft-ttl: 2h
    layers:
      - user-memory
      - user-redis
    user-memory:
      type: memory
      max-memory: 512
      ttl: 2h
      amnesia: 0
      compression: true
    user-redis:
      type: redis
      address: "localhost:6379"
      db: 4
      ttl: 24h
      amnesia: 0
      compression: true

soft-ttl is an instance-wide TTL which when expired will NOT remove the data from the instance, but warns that the data is old

Each cache layer can be of types redis, gaurdian, memory or tiny. redis is used for a single node Redis server, gaurdian is used for a master-slave Redis cluster configuration, memory uses the BigCache library to provide an efficient and fast in-memory cache, tiny uses the native sync.map data structure to store smaller cache values in memory (used for low-write caches). Note: all of the cache types are sync-safe, meaning they can be safely used from simultaneously running goroutines.

Common layer configs:

amnesia is a stochastic fall-through mechanism which allows for a higher layer to be updated from a lower layer by the way of an artificial cache-miss, a 0 amnesia means that the layers will never miss a data that they actually have, a 10 amnesia means when a key is present in the cache, 90% of the time it is returned but 10% of the time it is ignored and is treated as a cache-miss. a 100 amnesia effectively turns the layer off. (Default: 0)

compression is whther the data is compressed before being put into the cache memory. Currently only Zlib compression is supported. (Default: false)

ttl is the hard Time To Live for the data in this particular layer, after which the data is expired and is expected to be removed.

Type-spesific layer configs:

db [redis - gaurdian] is the Redis DB number to be used. (Default:0) idle-timeout [redis - gaurdian] is the timeout for idle connections to the Redis Server (see Redis documentation) (Default:0 - no timeout) address [redis - gaurdian] is the Redis Server's Address (the master's address in case of a cluster) slaves [gaurdian] is a list of Redis servers addresses pertaining to the slave nodes. max-memory [memory] is the maximum amount of system memory which can be used by this particular layer.
