Roadmap

Development notes for pending tasks.

• Improved read buffer algorithm
  • Switch from PTL to Fast Flow based segments
• Dynamically grow read buffer segments
  • See Java 8's Striped64 for example heuristic
  • Reduces clean up penalty in low contention usages
  • Reduces memory usage
• Do not use read buffer unless required by policy settings
  • Use lossy striped counter iff weak/soft references
  • Use no-op iff expireAfterWrite
• Improve write buffer algorithm
  • Use a multiple producer / single consumer unbounded queue (replacing ConcurrentLinkedQueue)
• Collections
  • Add combining arena to existing implementations
  • Investigate mpsc based on linked, reusable arrays
• Profile and code audit
• Simulator
  • Add weight and expiration support
  • Advanced eviction policies (2Q, LIRS, TinyLFU, etc)
