Systems and methods for reconstructing cache loss
Implementations of this disclosure are directed to systems, methods and media for assessing the status of data being stored in distributed, cached databases that includes retrieving, from a data cache, variables which include a cache loss indicator and a non-null value. The variables are analyzed to determine a state of the cache loss indicator. If the cache loss indicator indicates an intentional cache loss state, the cache loss indicator is removed and the non-null value is provided to an application. Otherwise, a cache restore process is initiated.
1. A method for data management, comprising:
retrieving, from a data cache, one or more variables, wherein each variable comprises a cache loss indicator and a value;
analyzing, by one or more computer processors, at least one of the one or more variables to determine a presence of the cache loss indicator; and
determining the presence of the cache loss indicator and when the cache loss indicator is present in the analyzed variable, removing, by the one or more computer processors, the cache loss indicator from the analyzed variable and providing the value to an application, and when the cache loss indicator is not present, initiating, by the one or more computer processors, a cache restore process for the analyzed variable.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the variable comprises a string data type.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value comprises an integer data type.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cache loss indicator is appended to a beginning of each variable.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cache loss indicator is appended to an end of each variable.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the variable comprises a data paring.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the variables are restored from a persistent data store.
8. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
identifying one or more variables stored in the data cache to be cleared; and
clearing the value and setting the cache loss indicator to indicate the value was cleared intentionally.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein an absence of the cache loss indicator indicates an unintentional removal of the value from the variable, resulting in a null value.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the cache restore process comprises rebuilding the variable in the data cache by refreshing the null value with the value.
11. A system for data management, comprising:
one or more computer processors programmed to perform operations to:
retrieve, from a data cache, one or more variables, wherein each variable comprises a cache loss indicator and a value;
analyze at least one of the one or more variables to determine a presence of the cache loss indicator; and
determining the presence of the cache loss indicator and when the cache loss indicator is present in the analyzed variable, remove the cache loss indicator from the analyzed variable and provide the value to an application and when the cache loss indicator is not present, initiate a cache restore process for the analyzed variable.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the variable comprises a string data type.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the cache loss indicator is appended to a beginning of each variable.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the cache loss indicator is appended to an end of each variable.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the variable comprises a data paring.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the variables are restored from a persistent data store.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations are further performed to:
identify one or more variables stored in the data cache to be cleared; and
clear the value and setting the cache loss indicator to indicate the value was cleared intentionally.
18. The system of claim 11 , wherein an absence of the cache loss indicator indicates an unintentional removal of the value from the variable, resulting in a null value.
19. The system of claim 18 , wherein for the cache restore process, the one or more computer processors are further programmed to:
rebuild the variable in the data cache by refreshing the null value with the value.
20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more computer processors, cause the one or more computer processors to:
retrieve, from a data cache, one or more variables, wherein each variable comprises a cache loss indicator and a value;
analyze at least one of the one or more variables to determine a presence of the cache loss indicator; and
determine the presence of the cache loss indicator and when the cache loss indicator is present in the analyzed variable, remove the cache loss indicator from the analyzed variable and provide the value to an application, and when the cache loss indicator is not present, initiate a cache restore process for the analyzed variable.
