Interface RedisCachePrefix

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface RedisCachePrefix

Contract for generating 'prefixes' for Cache keys saved in Redis. Due to the 'flat' nature of the Redis storage, the prefix is used as a 'namespace' for grouping the key/values inside a cache (and to avoid collision with other caches or keys inside Redis).

Method Summary

byte[]

prefix(String cacheName) Returns the prefix for the given cache (identified by name).

Method Detail

the prefix for the given cache.
