Ability to invalidate the entire cache?

[jamesbirtles]

A use case has come up where I'd like to invalidate the entire cache (or perhaps invalidate based on a predicate on the values). I'm not seeing any way to do this at the moment. I am using the future based cache.

Hi. I started to implement invalidate_all method, which will invalidate the entire cache. (#11)

Once I am done with it, I will start to work on invalidate_entries_if method, which will take a predicate and invalidate entries that meet the predicate.

I will let you know when they are ready.

Awesome! 🎉

@UnwrittenFun — I just published Moka 0.3.0 to crates.io. It has invalidate_all method and I hope you will like it. (API doc)

I will keep this issue open until I finish implementing invalidate_entries_if method.

I will keep this issue open until I finish implementing invalidate_entries_if method.

Finally, I finished implementing this method (PR #12). It takes a predicate and invalidate entries that satisfy the predicate. (key: &K and value: &V are passed to the predicate) The invalidation is processed by a background thread and client reads/writes will not be blocked while running the invalidation.

I am running some load tests now. If they go well, I will merge the PR and release Moka v0.4.0.
