DatabaseCache MBean¶

The DatabaseCache MBeans provide information about the settings of a database’s cache. There is an MBean of this type for each database. They are located in com.denodo.vdb.management.mbeans > Cache > database name and they have the following attributes:

• ActiveRefreshCacheProcesses: number of processes that are currently updating the cache of the views of the database.

• CacheStatus: status of the cache: ON or OFF.

• CustomDataSource: true if this database is not using the cache settings established for the entire Server and is using a specific one. false otherwise.

• DBURI: URI of the database used as cache.

• DatabaseName: name of the database.

• DriverClassName: class of the JDBC driver used to connect to the database that stores the cached data.

• LastCacheAccessStatus: indicates whether the last access to the cache database was successful (true) or not (false).

• MaxRefreshCacheProcesses (editable value): maximum number of concurrent processes that the Server may start to update the cache of the views of this database.

• RefreshCacheProcess<i> (compound value): contains information about the process #i that was started to update the cache of a view. These MBeans are added as children of the DatabaseCache MBean. To see them, expand the DatabaseCache node in the MBeans browser. If there are no RefreshCacheProcess nodes, it means that no view has been refreshed yet. These MBeans have the following properties:

  • CacheStatus: mode of the cache that is being refreshed. Its value can be:

    • OFF

    • PARTIAL

    • PARTIAL EXACT

    • PARTIAL PRELOAD

    • PARTIAL EXACT PRELOAD

    • FULL.

  • DatabaseName: the name of the database.

  • Exception: if there was a problem while inserting data into the cache, this attribute contains the cause of the problem.

  • Identifier: unique identifier of the refresh cache process.

  • NumConditions: number of conditions of the executed query.

  • NumOfInsertedRows: number of rows that have been inserted in the cache so far.

    If the cache database is configured to use the “Bulk Data Load API” of the cache database, this is the number of rows that have been written into the data files that are then transferred to the database using its API. This is not the number of rows inserted on the database because the bulk data load APIs of the databases do not provide information about how many rows have been inserted, until all the data is stored.

  • NumOfReceivedRows: number of rows returned by the query and that have to be inserted in the cache.

    Once all the data has been inserted in the cache, this attribute and NumOfInsertedRows have the same value.

  • ProjectedFields: list of fields projected by the query.

  • QueryPatternId: ID of the query pattern.

  • QueryPatternState: state of the query pattern: PROCESSING, VALID or INVALID.

  • SqlViewName: name of the table in the cache data source where the cached data is stored.

  • StartTime and EndTime: instant at which the process that updates the cache started/finished.

  • StartCachedResultMetadataStorageTime and EndCachedResultMetadataStorageTime: instant at which the Server started/finished storing the metadata of the cached data.

  • StartDataStorageTime and EndDataStorageTime: instant at which the Server started/finished storing the data in the cache.

  • StartQueryPatternStorageTime and EndQueryPatternStorageTime: instant at which the Server started/finished storing the query pattern.

  • TTLInCache: time to live (in seconds) of the data stored by this “refresh cache process”. When this time is reached, the contents inserted by this process will be invalid.

    Note

    This value is only relevant when the value of the attribute TTLStatusInCache is CUSTOM.

  • TTLStatusInCache: status of the TTLInCache configuration. It has one of the following values:

    • CUSTOM: The view’s cache is using the TTL set by the attribute TTLInCache.

    • DEFAULT: The view is using the TTL set by the cache settings of the database.

    • NOEXPIRE: The cached data never expires.

  • VDPConditionList: list of conditions in the query.

  • ViewId: internal name of the view.

  • ViewName: name of the view.

• TotalRefreshCacheProcesses: total number of refresh cache processes executed since the start of the Server.

• UserName: username used to connect to the database that stores the cached data.

• UserPwd: password used to connect to the database that stores the cached data.

This MBean has these operations:

• getActiveRefreshCacheProcesses( <maxActiveCacheProcesses:integer> ): operation that returns information about the processes that are currently inserting data in the cache of views of this database. The parameter limits the number of processes that we retrieve information of.

ViewCache MBean¶

The ViewCache MBeans provide information about a view’s cache. There is an MBean of this type for each view. They are located in com.denodo.vdb.management.mbeans > Cache > database name > ViewCache > view name and it has the following attributes:

• BatchSizeInCache: the Server inserts rows into the cache, in batches. This attribute controls the number of rows inserted, per batch.

• CacheStatus: status of the view’s cache. Its value can be:

  • OFF

  • PARTIAL

  • PARTIAL EXACT

  • PARTIAL PRELOAD

  • PARTIAL EXACT PRELOAD

  • FULL

• DatabaseName: name of the database that this view belongs to.

• LastAccess: last access to the view’s cache.

• LastRefresh: last time the content of this view’s cache was updated.

• RefreshFailuresCount: number of failures when writing new tuples in the view cache.

• TTLInCache: time to live (in seconds) of the data in the view’s cache. When this time is reached, the contents of the cache are considered invalid.

  Note

  This value is only relevant when the value of the attribute TTLStatusInCache is CUSTOM.

• TTLStatusInCache: status of the TTLInCache configuration. It has one of the following values:

  • CUSTOM: In this case, the view’s cache uses the TTL set by the attribute TTLInCache.

  • DEFAULT: The view uses the TTL set by the cache settings of the database.

  • NOEXPIRE: The cached data never expires.

• ViewName: name of the view.
