Cache Promote Plugin
********************
The :program:`cache_promote` plugin provides a means to control when an object should
be allowed to enter the cache. This is orthogonal from normal ``Cache-Control``
directives, providing a different set of policies to apply. The typical use
case for this plugin is when you have a very large data set, where you want to
avoid churning the ATS cache for the long tail content.
All configuration is done via :file:`remap.config`, and the following options
are available:
.. program:: cache-promote
.. option:: --policy
The promotion policy. The values ``lru`` and ``chance`` are supported.
.. option:: --sample
The sampling rate for the request to be considered
If :option:`--policy` is set to ``lru`` the following options are also available:
.. option:: --label
An optional label for this LRU, to allow sharing an LRU across multiple remap
rules. Note: In order for an LRU to be used by multiple remap rules, not only
must the label match, both the :option:`--hits` and :option:`--buckets`
options must be identical.
.. option:: --hits
The minimum number of requests before promotion.
.. option:: --bytes
In addition to requests, also count bytes that are cache misses. If specified,
default is ``0``, whichever triggers first of bytes and requests (hits) will
cause promotion.
.. option:: --buckets
The size (number of entries) of the LRU.
.. option:: --stats-enable-with-id
Enables collecting statistics. The option requires an argument, the
remap-identifier. The remap-identifier is a string that is concatenated
to the stat name. The following stats are collected.
* **plugin.cache_promote.${remap-identifier}.cache_hits** - Cache hit total, available for all policies.
* **plugin.cache_promote.${remap-identifier}.freelist_size** - Size of the freelist when using the LRU policy.
* **plugin.cache_promote.${remap-identifier}.lru_size** - Size of the LRU when using the LRU policy.
* **plugin.cache_promote.${remap-identifier}.lru_hit** - LRU hit count when using the LRU policy.
* **plugin.cache_promote.${remap-identifier}.lru_miss** - LRU miss count when using the LRU policy.
* **plugin.cache_promote.${remap-identifier}.lru_vacated** - count of LRU entries removed to make room for a new request.
* **plugin.cache_promote.${remap-identifier}.promoted** - count requests promoted, available in all policies.
* **plugin.cache_promote.${remap-identifier}.total_requests** - count of all requests.
.. option:: --internal-enabled
Allow cache promote to operate on internal (plugin-initiated) requests.
These options combined with your usage patterns will control how likely a
URL is to become promoted to enter the cache.
Examples
--------
These two examples shows how to use the chance and LRU policies, respectively::
map http://cdn.example.com/ http://some-server.example.com \
@plugin=cache_promote.so @pparam=--policy=chance @pparam=--sample=10%
map http://cdn.example.com/ http://some-server.example.com \
@plugin=cache_promote.so @pparam=--policy=lru \
@pparam=--hits=10 @pparam=--buckets=10000
Note :option:`--sample` is available for all policies and can be used to reduce pressure under heavy load.
