lru
function
clojure.core.memoize/lru
(lru [f] [f base] [f tkey threshold] [f base key threshold])Works the same as the basic memoization function (i.e. `memo`
and `core.memoize` except when a given threshold is breached.
Observe the following:
(require '[clojure.core.memoize :as memo])
(def id (memo/lru identity :lru/threshold 2))
(id 42)
(id 43)
(snapshot id)
;=> {[42] 42, [43] 43}
At this point the cache has not yet crossed the set threshold
of `2`, but if you execute yet another call the story will
change:
(id 44)
(snapshot id)
;=> {[44] 44, [43] 43}
At this point the operation of the LRU cache looks exactly
the same at the FIFO cache. However, the difference becomes
apparent on further use:
(id 43)
(id 0)
(snapshot id)
;=> {[0] 0, [43] 43}
As you see, once again calling `id` with the argument `43`
will expose the LRU nature of the underlying cache. That is,
when the threshold is passed, the cache will expel the
**L**east **R**ecently **U**sed element in favor of the new.
