Method Detail

getName

String getName()

the name of the Cache these statistics are for

getStatus

String getStatus()

clearStatistics

void clearStatistics()

getEntryCount

long getEntryCount()

Returns:

the number of entries

getCacheHits

long getCacheHits()

The number of get requests that were satisfied by the cache.

Returns:

the number of hits

getCacheHitPercentage

float getCacheHitPercentage()

getCacheHits() divided by the total number of gets. This is a measure of cache efficiency.

Returns:

the percentage of successful hits, as a decimal

getCacheMisses

long getCacheMisses()

Returns:

the number of misses

getCacheMissPercentage

float getCacheMissPercentage()

Returns the percentage of cache accesses that did not find a requested entry in the cache.

Returns:

the percentage of accesses that failed to find anything

getCacheGets

long getCacheGets()

The total number of requests to the cache. This will be equal to the sum of the hits and misses.

A "get" is an operation that returns the current or previous value. It does not include checking for the existence of a key.

Returns:

the number of gets

getCachePuts

long getCachePuts()

The total number of puts to the cache.

A put is counted even if it is immediately evicted. A replace invcludes a put and remove.

Returns:

the number of hits

getCacheRemovals

long getCacheRemovals()

The total number of removals from the cache. This does not include evictions, where the cache itself initiates the removal to make space.

A replace is a put that overwrites a mapping and is not considered a remove.

Returns:

the number of hits

getCacheEvictions

long getCacheEvictions()

The total number of evictions from the cache. An eviction is a removal initiated by the cache itself to free up space. An eviction is not treated as a removal and does not appear in the removal counts.

Returns:

the number of evictions from the cache
