Asynchronous data store operations including selectively returning a value from cache or a value determined by an asynchronous computation
Abstract:
A processing system server and methods for performing asynchronous data store operations. The server includes a processor which maintains a cache of objects in communication with the server. The processor executes an asynchronous computation to determine the value of a first object. In response to a request for the first object occurring before the asynchronous computation has determined the value of the first object, a value of the first object is returned from the cache. In response to a request for the first object occurring after the asynchronous computation has determined the value of the first object, a value of the first object determined by the asynchronous computation is returned. The asynchronous computation may comprise at least one future, such as a ListenableFuture, or at least one process or thread. Execution of an asynchronous computation may occur with a frequency correlated with how frequently the object changes or how important it is to have a current value of the object. The asynchronous computation may receive different values from at least two servers and may determine the value of an object based on time stamps.
