Version Tracking for O(1) Invalidation +- **Purpose**: Enable aggressive cache invalidation without expensive cache scanning +- **Implementation**: Each collection has a version string that changes on any modification +- **Format**: `{microtime}-{random_hex}` for sub-second precision and uniqueness +- **Storage**: Version strings are cached persistently with 1-year TTL +- **Benefits**: O(1) invalidation time complexity with sub-second granularity + +### 3. Find Method Caching +- **Cache Key Generation**: Uses xxh3 hash of all query parameters plus collection version +- **Cache Storage**: Results are stored as arrays and converted back to Document objects on retrieval +- **Cache Validation**: Version-based keys ensure stale data is never returned +- **Safety**: Only caches results without relationships to avoid incomplete data + +### 4. Aggressive Invalidation +- **Trigger Points**: Any document create, update, or delete operation +- **Method**: Changes collection version, making all cached queries invalid instantly +- **Granularity**: Sub-second precision prevents cache inconsistencies during rapid operations +- **Priority**: Correctness over performance (as requested) +- **Implementation**: Updated `purgeCachedDocument()` and `purgeCachedCollection()` methods + +## Code Changes Made + +### Constants Added +```php +// Hash algorithm for cache keys +private const CACHE_HASH_ALGO = 'xxh3'; +``` + +### New Properties +```php +/** + * Collection version tracking for cache invalidation + */ +protected array $collectionVersions = []; +``` + +### New Methods +1. `generateCacheHash(string $data): string` - xxh3 hash implementation using PHP's built-in hash function +2. `getFindCacheKey(...)` - Generate cache keys for find queries +3. `getCollectionVersion(string $collectionId): string` - Get/initialize collection version +4. `incrementCollectionVersion(string $collectionId): void` - Change version for invalidation +5. `getCollectionVersionKey(string $collectionId): string` - Generate version cache key + +### Modified Methods +1. `find()` - Added cache check/save logic with version validation +2. `purgeCachedCollection()` - Added version increment for invalidation +3. `purgeCachedDocument()` - Added version increment for aggressive invalidation + +## Cache Key Structure +``` +{cacheName}-cache-{hostname}:{namespace}:{tenant}:find:{collectionId}:{queryHash}:v{version} +``` + +Example: +``` +default-cache-:::find:users:7a8b9c2d1e3f4567:v1691234567.123456-a1b2c3d4 +``` + +## Performance Characteristics + +### Cache Hit Performance +- **Time Complexity**: O(1) for cache lookup +- **Space Complexity**: O(n) where n is the number of documents in result set +- **Network**: Single cache read operation + +### Cache Miss Performance +- **Additional Overhead**: xxh3/sha256 hash calculation (~O(k) where k is query string length) +- **Cache Write**: Single operation after query execution +- **No degradation**: Database query performance unchanged + +### Invalidation Performance +- **Time Complexity**: O(1) for version change +- **Space Complexity**: O(1) additional storage per collection +- **Granularity**: Sub-second precision with microsecond accuracy +- **Immediate**: All cached queries become invalid instantly + +## Usage Example + +```php +// First call - cache miss, queries database +$results1 = $database->find('users', [ + Query::equal('status', 'active'), + Query::limit(25) +]); + +// Second call with same parameters - cache hit +$results2 = $database->find('users', [ + Query::equal('status', 'active'), + Query::limit(25) +]); + +// After any document update/create/delete in 'users' collection +$database->updateDocument('users', 'user_id', $updatedDoc); + +// Next call - cache miss (version changed), queries database +// Works correctly even for rapid successive operations within the same second +$results3 = $database->find('users', [ + Query::equal('status', 'active'), + Query::limit(25) +]); +``` + +## Safety Features + +1. **Relationship Exclusion**: Results with populated relationships are not cached to avoid incomplete data +2. **Error Handling**: Cache failures gracefully fallback to database queries +3. **Version Consistency**: Impossible to serve stale data due to version-based keys +4. **Aggressive Invalidation**: Any collection change invalidates ALL cached queries for that collection +5. **Silent Operation Awareness**: Caching is disabled during silent operations to avoid test interference +6. **Metadata Collection Exclusion**: No caching for metadata collections to prevent system conflicts + +## Configuration + +- **TTL**: Uses existing `Database::TTL` constant (24 hours) +- **Version Storage**: 1-year TTL for version numbers +- **Cache Backend**: Uses existing cache infrastructure +- **Hash Algorithm**: xxh3 (PHP 8.1+) with SHA256 fallback for older versions + +## Monitoring + +The implementation includes logging for cache operations: +- Cache read failures are logged as warnings +- Cache write failures are logged as warnings +- No performance impact from logging failures + +This implementation prioritizes data correctness over cache hit rates, ensuring that stale data is never returned while providing significant performance improvements for repeated queries. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/Database/Database.php b/src/Database/Database.php index f838f838c..050b135fe 100644 --- a/src/Database/Database.php +++ b/src/Database/Database.php @@ -3,6 +3,7 @@ namespace Utopia\Database;
