OK. I have some questions which may need a little more explanation in
the docs.
On the object cache page you discuss Memory Management with the shared
and local caches.
1. Should this section be moved to the parent page since it applies
both to query and object caches? That is, is the memory space of
10,000 shared between object and query cache?
2. If an object is stored in the shared cache by one context and
another context uses it, will localObject() need to be called on it to
move it to the correct context or is that all handled automatically?
3. If objects are always synchronised between local caches is
refreshing ONLY needed when thinking about multiple instances of the
application in separate JVMs? If so, this could be made even clearer
in the refreshing section.
"Object caching happens behind the scenes, so the only case when users
need to worry about object cache is when an object gets stale and
needs to get refreshed"
maybe instead:
"Object cache refreshing is done automatically for you be Cayenne, so
the only case users need to worry about refreshing manually is when
you are running multiple instances of the application in separate
JVMs. In that case you have the following options:"
4. I'd like to understand a little better the relationship between
query cache and object cache. For example, will Cayenne every perform
a query against the database and then throw away the results it gets
because it sees that the objectIds are already in the object cache?
That is, does a query which hits the db always result in a refresh of
the object cache?
And, if the query is cached and therefore no SELECT is issued, will
the results sometimes include hollow objects which will then be
faulted? Perhaps the object cache was full and those objects had been
expired.
So, whether the object cache is refreshed will depend on whether a
query hits the db or comes from cache?
