RedisCache now operates directly with RedisConnectionFactory allowing each Cache to use its own SerializationPair for cache key and value conversion.
A RedisCacheManager with default settings is created with RedisCacheManager.create(connectionFactory). Use RedisCacheManager.builder(…) to obtain a builder to customize cache settings.
RedisCacheManager cm = RedisCacheManager.builder(connectionFactory)
.cacheDefaults(defaultCacheConfig())
.initialCacheConfigurations(singletonMap("predefined", defaultCacheConfig().disableCachingNullValues()))
.transactionAware()
.build();
The behavior of a single RedisCache is defined via its RedisCacheConfiguration. Starting from defaultCacheConfig() the configuration can be altered as needed.
RedisCacheConfiguration config = RedisCacheConfiguration.defaultCacheConfig()
.entryTtl(Duration.ofSeconds(1))
.disableCachingNullValues();
RedisCacheManager defaults to a lock-free RedisCacheWriter for reading & writing binary values. Lock-free caching improves throughput. The lack of entry locking can lead to overlapping, non atomic commands, for putIfAbsent and clean methods as those require multiple commands sent to Redis. The locking counterpart prevents command overlap by setting an explicit lock key and checking against presence of this key, which leads to additional requests and potential command wait times.
