Detailed Description
A SettingsSource that can be cached.
It must return a unique (enough) and deterministic hash key for cache indexing.

◆ allowsStaleLoad()
| MediaWiki\Settings\Cache\CacheableSource::allowsStaleLoad | ( | ) |
Allow the caching layer to attempt to return stale results in the event that loading from the original source fails.
Note that allowing stale results will result in cache items being stored indefinitely regardless of the getExpiryTtl() value, and since there is currently no pruning of cache items, it is advised that sources allowing stale results also implement an immutable getHashKey() based only on constructor arguments.
- Returns
- bool
Implemented in MediaWiki\Settings\Source\EtcdSource, and MediaWiki\Settings\Source\FileSource.
◆ getExpiryTtl()
| MediaWiki\Settings\Cache\CacheableSource::getExpiryTtl | ( | ) |
Returns the cache TTL (in seconds) for this source.
- Returns
- int
Implemented in MediaWiki\Settings\Source\EtcdSource, and MediaWiki\Settings\Source\FileSource.
◆ getExpiryWeight()
| MediaWiki\Settings\Cache\CacheableSource::getExpiryWeight | ( | ) |
Coefficient used in determining early expiration of cached settings to avoid stampedes.
Increasing this value will cause the random early election to happen by a larger margin of lead time before normal expiry, relative to the cache value's generation duration. Conversely, returning a lesser value will narrow the margin of lead time, making the cache hold items for slightly longer but with more likelihood that concurrent regenerations and set overwrites will occur. Returning 0 will effectively disable early expiration, and by extension disable stampede mitigation altogether.
A greater value may be suitable if a source has a highly variable generation duration, but most implementations should simply return 1.0.
