Interface CacheStatisticsMXBean


@MXBean public interface CacheStatisticsMXBean
Cache statistics.

Statistics are accumulated from the time a cache is created. They can be reset to zero using clear().

There are no defined consistency semantics for statistics. Refer to the implementation for precise semantics.

Each cache's statistics object must be registered with an ObjectName that is unique and has the following type and attributes:

Type: javax.cache:type=CacheStatistics

Required Attributes:

  • CacheManager the URI of the CacheManager
  • Cache the name of the Cache
Since:
1.0
  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    void
    Clears the statistics counters to 0 for the associated Cache.
    float
    The mean time to execute gets.
    float
    The mean time to execute puts.
    float
    The mean time to execute removes.
    long
    The total number of evictions from the cache.
    long
    The total number of requests to the cache.
    float
    This is a measure of cache efficiency.
    long
    The number of get requests that were satisfied by the cache.
    long
    A miss is a get request that is not satisfied.
    float
    Returns the percentage of cache accesses that did not find a requested entry in the cache.
    long
    The total number of puts to the cache.
    long
    The total number of removals from the cache.
  • Method Details

    • clear

      void clear()
      Clears the statistics counters to 0 for the associated Cache.
    • getCacheHits

      long getCacheHits()
      The number of get requests that were satisfied by the cache.

      Cache.containsKey(Object) is not a get request for statistics purposes.

      In a caches with multiple tiered storage, a hit may be implemented as a hit to the cache or to the first tier.

      For an EntryProcessor, a hit occurs when the key exists and an entry processor can be invoked against it, even if no methods of Cache.Entry or MutableEntry are called.

      Returns:
      the number of hits
    • getCacheHitPercentage

      float getCacheHitPercentage()
      This is a measure of cache efficiency.

      It is calculated as: getCacheHits() divided by () * 100.

      Returns:
      the percentage of successful hits, as a decimal e.g 75.
    • getCacheMisses

      long getCacheMisses()
      A miss is a get request that is not satisfied.

      In a simple cache a miss occurs when the cache does not satisfy the request.

      Cache.containsKey(Object) is not a get request for statistics purposes.

      For an EntryProcessor, a miss occurs when the key does not exist and therefore an entry processor cannot be invoked against it.

      In a caches with multiple tiered storage, a miss may be implemented as a miss to the cache or to the first tier.

      In a read-through cache a miss is an absence of the key in the cache that will trigger a call to a CacheLoader. So it is still a miss even though the cache will load and return the value.

      Refer to the implementation for precise semantics.

      Returns:
      the number of misses
    • getCacheMissPercentage

      float getCacheMissPercentage()
      Returns the percentage of cache accesses that did not find a requested entry in the cache.

      This is calculated as getCacheMisses() divided by getCacheGets() * 100.

      Returns:
      the percentage of accesses that failed to find anything
    • getCacheGets

      long getCacheGets()
      The total number of requests to the cache. This will be equal to the sum of the hits and misses.

      A "get" is an operation that returns the current or previous value. It does not include checking for the existence of a key.

      In a caches with multiple tiered storage, a gets may be implemented as a get to the cache or to the first tier.

      Returns:
      the number of gets
    • getCachePuts

      long getCachePuts()
      The total number of puts to the cache.

      A put is counted even if it is immediately evicted.

      Replaces, where a put occurs which overrides an existing mapping is counted as a put.

      Returns:
      the number of puts
    • getCacheRemovals

      long getCacheRemovals()
      The total number of removals from the cache. This does not include evictions, where the cache itself initiates the removal to make space.
      Returns:
      the number of removals
    • getCacheEvictions

      long getCacheEvictions()
      The total number of evictions from the cache. An eviction is a removal initiated by the cache itself to free up space. An eviction is not treated as a removal and does not appear in the removal counts.
      Returns:
      the number of evictions
    • getAverageGetTime

      float getAverageGetTime()
      The mean time to execute gets.

      In a read-through cache the time taken to load an entry on miss is not included in get time.

      Returns:
      the time in µs
    • getAveragePutTime

      float getAveragePutTime()
      The mean time to execute puts.
      Returns:
      the time in µs
    • getAverageRemoveTime

      float getAverageRemoveTime()
      The mean time to execute removes.
      Returns:
      the time in µs
