CacheFactory

java.lang.Object
- com.sodius.oslc.core.cache.CacheFactory

```
public abstract class CacheFactory
extends Object
```
A factory to create instances of CacheBuilder, used to build a Cache.
The default implementation uses a Guava cache, which is only valid within the current JVM and cannot be shared across cluster nodes.
Applications can provide their own Guava implementation, that delegates to a cache that is compatible with clusters. To do so, they must change the CacheFactory at initialization time, using the following code:
```
 CacheFactory.setInstance(new MyClusterCacheFactory());
 
```
As the main use for this cache factory is to delegate to cluster compatible implementations, it requires all cache keys and values to be Serializable.
Since:

1.12.0

public CacheFactory()
```
- Method Detail
  - getInstance
```
public static CacheFactory getInstance()
```
    Returns the current cache factory instance.
    Default instance uses a standard Guava cache which is only valid within the current JVM.
    
    Returns:
    
    the current instance

```
public static void setInstance(CacheFactory cacheFactory)
```
    Replaces the current cache factory with the given one.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cacheFactory - the new cache factory
  - builder
```
public abstract <V extends Serializable> CacheBuilder<V> builder()
```
    Creates a synchronous cache builder.
    This builder must guarantee that the caches it creates are synchronous, meaning when a cache is updated on a cluster node, it must not release the thread until all cluster nodes are notified of the new value.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    V - the base value type for all caches created by this builder
    
    Returns:
    
    a cache builder
