Description
In case the expirable cache is initialized in the constructor of the Lambda class and some entries are put as well it may happen that the entries are not there anymore after the SnapStart snapshot is restored. The should be a warning of usage of time-based cached with the SnapStart is enabled.
In particular I'm thinking of the usage of 2 popular open source libraries:
- Google Guava ( artifact id guava and group id com.google.guava) and the code like this
myCache = CacheBuilder.newBuilder().expireAfterAccess(3600, TimeUnit.SECONDS) .build();
myCache.put("key", "value");
- Using artifact id expiringmap and the group id net.jodah and the code like this
expiredMap = ExpiringMap.builder().expiration(3600, TimeUnit.SECONDS).build();
expiredMap.put("key", "value");
I know that it's difficult to spot such use cases because both open source libraries offer standard and not expirable caches. But the invocation of the methods like CacheBuilder.newBuilder().expireAfterAccess/expireAfterWrite or multiple variations of methods ExpiringMap.builder().expiration* when creating the cache using these open source tools is a clear indication of the creation of expirable cache.
