MruEvictionPolicy class

Discards, in contrast to LRU, the most recently used items first. This algorithm uses the CacheInfo.accessTime to keep track of what was used when.

Methods

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
select(Iterable<CacheInfo?> entries, DateTime now) CacheInfo?
Finds the best eviction candidate based on the sampled entries. What distinguishes this approach from the classic data structures approach is that an CacheInfo contains metadata (e.g. usage information) which can be used for making policy decisions, while generic data structures do not. It is expected that implementations will take advantage of that metadata.
inherited
selectEntry(CacheInfo entry, CacheInfo selectedEntry, DateTime now) bool
Returns true if entry is a better candidate for eviction than the current selectedEntry
toString() String
A string representation of this object.
