# Concurrent LRU

[![crates.io Badge]][crates.io package]

[![License Badge]][license]

An implementation of a concurrent LRU cache. It is designed to hold heavyweight
resources, e.g. file descriptors, disk pages. The implementation is heavily
influenced by the [LRU cache in LevelDB].

Currently there are two implementations, `unsharded` and `sharded`.

- `unsharded` is a linked hashmap protected by a big lock.
- `sharded` shards `unsharded` by key, providing better performance under
contention.

## Example

```rust,no_run
use concurrent_lru::sharded::LruCache;
use std::{fs, io};

fn read(_f: &fs::File) -> io::Result<()> {
// Maybe some positioned read...
Ok(())
}

fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
let cache = LruCache::::new(10);

let foo_handle = cache.get_or_try_init("foo".to_string(), 1, |name| {
fs::OpenOptions::new().read(true).open(name)
})?;
read(foo_handle.value())?;
drop(foo_handle); // Unpin foo file.

// Foo is in the cache.
assert!(cache.get("foo".to_string()).is_some());

// Evict foo manually.
cache.prune();
assert!(cache.get("foo".to_string()).is_none());

Ok(())
}
```
