Right..
Implementing the interface by the objects would feel more natural to me API-wise.
Is it a lot more complex to implement? Any other pros or cons?
I have updated the design page.
Thanks, one last question, do you think naming the methods just "Store" and "Retrieve" is descriptive enough? Would "Cache" and "Uncache" be too confusing given that the interface is called "Cache" ?
Store/Remove as to Store in cache and Remove from cache. Let's compare it: org.freedesktop.sssd.infopipe.Cache.Object.Cache org.freedesktop.sssd.infopipe.Cache.Object.Uncache
org.freedesktop.sssd.infopipe.Cache.Object.Store org.freedesktop.sssd.infopipe.Cache.Object.Remove
What does sound better? I think using Cache and Uncache is quite redundant.
OK, ACK.
You made some concerns about name of the attribute and whether it should be indexed or not in other thread.
The attribute is currently named 'cached', my suggestions are: a) ifp_cached b) ifp_exported
ifp_cached sounds good to me.
What do you say? Or do you have other suggestions?
About the index... In my understanding the amount of objects marked as cached is supposed to be very, very small in comparison with the total amount of users and groups, so we could benefit from the index here. However, how often will we need to do the lookup? That depends on the use cases and I guess time will tell us. We can add the index anytime later. So my call is not add it now.
I think this is the right choice. The index is supposed to be used for attributes that are used very frequently. I don't think the ifp_cached attribute will be one of them.
