Method Detail

• <K, V> public static EntryWeigher<K, V> asEntryWeigher(Weigher<? super V> weigher)

  A entry weigher backed by the specified weigher. The weight of the value determines the weight of the entry.

  Parameters:

  weigher - the weigher to be "wrapped" in a entry weigher.

  Returns:

  A entry weigher view of the specified weigher.

• public static Weigher<byte[]> byteArray()

  A weigher where the value is a byte array and its weight is the number of bytes. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the number of bytes exceeds the capacity rather than the number of key-value pairs in the map. This allows for restricting the capacity based on the memory-consumption and is primarily for usage by dedicated caching servers that hold the serialized data.

  A value with a weight of 0 will be rejected by the map. If a value with this weight can occur then the caller should eagerly evaluate the value and treat it as a removal operation. Alternatively, a custom weigher may be specified on the map to assign an empty value a positive weight.

  Returns:

  A weigher where each byte takes one unit of capacity.

• <E> @SuppressWarnings({"cast", "unchecked"}) public static Weigher<? super def> collection()

  A weigher where the value is a Collection and its weight is the number of elements. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the total number of elements exceeds the capacity rather than the number of key-value pairs in the map.

  A value with a weight of 0 will be rejected by the map. If a value with this weight can occur then the caller should eagerly evaluate the value and treat it as a removal operation. Alternatively, a custom weigher may be specified on the map to assign an empty value a positive weight.

  Returns:

  A weigher where each element takes one unit of capacity.

• <K, V> @SuppressWarnings({"cast", "unchecked"}) public static EntryWeigher<K, V> entrySingleton()

  A weigher where an entry has a weight of 1. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the number of key-value pairs exceeds the capacity.

  Returns:

  A weigher where a value takes one unit of capacity.

• <E> @SuppressWarnings({"cast", "unchecked"}) public static Weigher<? super def> iterable()

  A weigher where the value is a Iterable and its weight is the number of elements. This weigher only should be used when the alternative collection() weigher cannot be, as evaluation takes O(n) time. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the total number of elements exceeds the capacity rather than the number of key-value pairs in the map.

  A value with a weight of 0 will be rejected by the map. If a value with this weight can occur then the caller should eagerly evaluate the value and treat it as a removal operation. Alternatively, a custom weigher may be specified on the map to assign an empty value a positive weight.

  Returns:

  A weigher where each element takes one unit of capacity.

• <E> @SuppressWarnings({"cast", "unchecked"}) public static Weigher<? super def> list()

  A weigher where the value is a List and its weight is the number of elements. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the total number of elements exceeds the capacity rather than the number of key-value pairs in the map.

  A value with a weight of 0 will be rejected by the map. If a value with this weight can occur then the caller should eagerly evaluate the value and treat it as a removal operation. Alternatively, a custom weigher may be specified on the map to assign an empty value a positive weight.

  Returns:

  A weigher where each element takes one unit of capacity.

• <A, B> @SuppressWarnings({"cast", "unchecked"}) public static Weigher<? super def> map()

  A weigher where the value is a Map and its weight is the number of entries. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the total number of entries across all values exceeds the capacity rather than the number of key-value pairs in the map.

  A value with a weight of 0 will be rejected by the map. If a value with this weight can occur then the caller should eagerly evaluate the value and treat it as a removal operation. Alternatively, a custom weigher may be specified on the map to assign an empty value a positive weight.

  Returns:

  A weigher where each entry takes one unit of capacity.

• <E> @SuppressWarnings({"cast", "unchecked"}) public static Weigher<? super def> set()

  A weigher where the value is a Set and its weight is the number of elements. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the total number of elements exceeds the capacity rather than the number of key-value pairs in the map.

  A value with a weight of 0 will be rejected by the map. If a value with this weight can occur then the caller should eagerly evaluate the value and treat it as a removal operation. Alternatively, a custom weigher may be specified on the map to assign an empty value a positive weight.

  Returns:

  A weigher where each element takes one unit of capacity.

• <V> @SuppressWarnings({"cast", "unchecked"}) public static Weigher<V> singleton()

  A weigher where a value has a weight of 1. A map bounded with this weigher will evict when the number of key-value pairs exceeds the capacity.

  Returns:

  A weigher where a value takes one unit of capacity.
