## Interface CacheInterceptor<K,V>

- All Superinterfaces:
    Serializable
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    CacheInterceptorAdapter

      public interface CacheInterceptor<K,V>
      extends Serializable

  Cache interceptor. Cache interceptor can be used for getting callbacks before and after cache `get(...)`, `put(...)`, and `remove(...)` operations. The `onBefore` callbacks can also be used to change the values stored in cache or preventing entries from being removed from cache.

  Cache interceptor is configured via `CacheConfiguration.getInterceptor()` configuration property.

  Any grid resource from `org.apache.ignite.resources` package can be injected into implementation of this interface.

    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `void` | `onAfterPut(javax.cache.Cache.Entry<K,V> entry)` This method is called after new value has been stored.
    `void` | `onAfterRemove(javax.cache.Cache.Entry<K,V> entry)` This method is called after value has been removed.
    `V` | `onBeforePut(javax.cache.Cache.Entry<K,V> entry, V newVal)` This method is called within `IgniteCache.put(Object, Object)` and similar operations before new value is stored in cache.
    `@Nullable IgniteBiTuple<Boolean,V>` | `onBeforeRemove(javax.cache.Cache.Entry<K,V> entry)` This method is called within `IgniteCache.remove(Object)` and similar operations to provide control over returned value.
    `V` | `onGet(K key, V val)` This method is called within `IgniteCache.get(Object)` and similar operations to provide control over returned value.

    - #### onGet

          @Nullable
          V onGet(K key,
                            @Nullable
                            V val)

      This method is called within `IgniteCache.get(Object)` and similar operations to provide control over returned value.

      If this method returns `null`, then `get()` operation results in `null` as well.

      This method should not throw any exception.

      Parameters:
        `key` - Key.
        `val` - Value mapped to `key` at the moment of `get()` operation.
      Returns:
        The new value to be returned as result of `get()` operation.
      See Also:
        `Cache.get(Object)`

    - #### onBeforePut

          @Nullable
          V onBeforePut(javax.cache.Cache.Entry<K,V> entry,
                                  V newVal)

      This method is called within `IgniteCache.put(Object, Object)` and similar operations before new value is stored in cache.

      Implementations should not execute any complex logic, including locking, networking or cache operations, as it may lead to deadlock, since this method is called from sensitive synchronization blocks.

      This method should not throw any exception.

      IMPORTANT: for this method to take affect, `newVal` and the returned value have to be different instances. I.e., you should not mutate `newVal` directly, but instead create a copy, update it and then return from the interceptor.

      Parameters:
        `entry` - Old entry. If `CacheConfiguration.isCopyOnRead()` is `true`, then is copy.
        `newVal` - New value.
      Returns:
        Value to be put to cache. Returning `null` cancels the update.
      See Also:
        `IgniteCache.put(Object, Object)`

    - #### onAfterPut

          void onAfterPut(javax.cache.Cache.Entry<K,V> entry)

      This method is called after new value has been stored.

      Implementations should not execute any complex logic, including locking, networking or cache operations, as it may lead to deadlock, since this method is called from sensitive synchronization blocks.

      This method should not throw any exception.

      Parameters:
        `entry` - Current entry. If `CacheConfiguration.isCopyOnRead()` is `true` then entry is a copy.

    - #### onBeforeRemove

          @Nullable
          @Nullable IgniteBiTuple<Boolean,V> onBeforeRemove(javax.cache.Cache.Entry<K,V> entry)

      This method is called within `IgniteCache.remove(Object)` and similar operations to provide control over returned value.

      Implementations should not execute any complex logic, including locking, networking or cache operations, as it may lead to deadlock, since this method is called from sensitive synchronization blocks.

      This method should not throw any exception.

      Parameters:
        `entry` - Old entry. If `CacheConfiguration.isCopyOnRead()` is `true` then entry is a copy.
      Returns:
        Tuple. The first value is the flag whether remove should be cancelled or not. The second is the value to be returned as result of `remove()` operation, may be `null`.
      See Also:
        `IgniteCache.remove(Object)`

    - #### onAfterRemove

          void onAfterRemove(javax.cache.Cache.Entry<K,V> entry)

      This method is called after value has been removed.

      Implementations should not execute any complex logic, including locking, networking or cache operations, as it may lead to deadlock, since this method is called from sensitive synchronization blocks.

      This method should not throw any exception.

      Parameters:
        `entry` - Removed entry. If `CacheConfiguration.isCopyOnRead()` is `true` then entry is a copy.
