Detailed Description

Interface that deferrable updates can implement to signal that updates can be combined.

DeferredUpdates uses this to merge all pending updates of PHP class into a single update by calling merge(). Note that upon merge(), the combined update goes to the back of the FIFO queue so that such updates occur after related non-mergeable deferred updates. For example, suppose updates that purge URLs can be merged, and the calling pattern is:

  • a) DeferredUpdates::addUpdate( $purgeCdnUrlsA );
  • b) DeferredUpdates::addUpdate( $deleteContentUrlsB );
  • c) DeferredUpdates::addUpdate( $purgeCdnUrlsB )

The purges for urls A and B will all happen after the $deleteContentUrlsB update.
