If you do want to invalidate search results cache as soon as blog is updated, you can use cache dependency. Let's say you store some value in cache using key dependencyKey = "BlogUpdatedKey" every time when blog is updated.
Create CacheDependency for that key:
var cacheDependency = new CacheDependency(null, new[] {dependencyKey});
And use this dependency when you cache search results:
var searchRequest = client.Search<BlogPost>() .StaticallyCacheFor(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10), cacheDependency) .GetResult();
In this case search results cache is invalidated after 10 minutes or when you update/remove another cached value using dependencyKey "BlogUpdatedKey".
Thanks Dmytro for your reply.
So, what you saying is, every time when I create a new instance of cache dependency object like follows (using same dependencyKey)
var cacheDependency = new CacheDependency(null, new[] {dependencyKey});
and use that in the "StaticallyCacheFor" will invalidate cache (on the other hand, using the same instance will not invalidate the cache) ?
I'm bit new to Find service and Episerver cache and would like to clarify this bit more.
No, cached search results are invalidated when dependencyKey value is invalidated.
When you cache your BlogPost search results with that cacheDependency, you define that these search results should be automatically removed from the cache after 10 minutes or when dependencyKey and corresponding value is expired, removed or inserted in the cache.
var cacheDependency = new CacheDependency(null, new[] {dependencyKey}); var searchRequest = client.Search<BlogPost>() .StaticallyCacheFor(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10), cacheDependency) .GetResult();
Each of the following code lines invalidates cached search results:
HttpRuntime.Cache.Remove(dependentKey); // dependentKey value is removed from the cache HttpRuntime.Cache.Insert(dependentKey, newValue); // dependentKey is replaced with new value
It's not so much Find-specific, this is basic ASP.NET caching functionality.
Thanks Dmytro for your explanation. Yes, I had some reading about ASP.NET caching and system around it and got to know this is much related to ASP.NET caching
So, I did following
var dependencyKey = "BlogUpdatedKey"; CacheManager.Insert(dependencyKey, Guid.NewGuid()); //This is to avoid null value cache key is returning HasChanged="true" in a CacheDependency var cacheDependency = new CacheDependency(null, new[] {dependencyKey});
Now, cacheDependency.HasChanged is "false". So, when "BlogPost" model changed, I do following
CacheManager.Insert(dependencyKey, Guid.NewGuid());
Then, cacheDependency.HasChanged will turn in to "true" and it is last for ever in that state. But I want it to be turn it to "false" after "StaticallyCacheFor" query has executed. So do I need to re instantiate the cacheDependency object using following code again ?
cacheDependency = new CacheDependency(null, new[] {dependencyKey});
Just say I have follwoing to fetch data
After 6 minutes (when I do a change in BlogPost model), how can I invalidate this statically cached data and get data with cahnges
