To make more storage available, your device can remove some of your items, like streamed music and videos, files in iCloud Drive, and parts of apps that aren't needed. It also removes temporary files and clears the cache on your device. But your device only removes items that can be downloaded again or that aren't needed anymore.
As the advances in hardware technology, the gap between fast CPU and theslow memory system is increased severely also in sequential computersystems. Hierarchical memory systems are used in sequential computers tobridge the gap. Cache is a widely used mechanism in the memory hierarchy.But it has been found that cache performance is not satisfying for manyimportant application algorithms since its hit ratio is very low for manyfrequently data access patterns due to conflict use of the cache lines. Thisproblem shares some similarity with the problem of memory module accessconflict in parallel memory systems discussed in Chapter 10. In addition,some special issue (data reuse rate) need to be considerate in cache systems.We will discuss the cache line conflict problem and some techniques to solveit in this chapter.

A browser cache is a database of files used to store downloaded resources from websites. Common resources in a browser cache include images, text content, HTML, CSS, and Javascript. The browser cache is relatively small compared to the many other types of databases used for websites.
"While written with the professional designer in mind, this book is easily accessible to interested laypeople. Its explanations about how caches work and the different policies that must be addressed by a cache designer are among the best Ive ever read. If you need to know how cache memory systems work, read The Cache Memory Book." --Bob Ryan in BYTE Magazine
Now you can enable caching on your SimpleBookRepository so that the books are cached within the books cache. The following listing (from src/main/java/com/example/caching/SimpleBookRepository.java) shows the repository definition:
In the preceding sample output, the first retrieval of a book still takes three seconds. However, the second and subsequent times for the same book are much faster, showing that the cache is doing its job.
The basic idea of the page cache is to put data into the available memory after reading it from disk, so that the next read is returned from the memory and getting the data does not require a disk seek. All of this is completely transparent to the application, which is issuing the same system calls, but the operating system has the ability to use the page cache instead of reading from disk.
Let's take a look at this diagram, where the application is executing a system call to read data from disk, and the kernel/operating system would go to disk for the first read and put the data into the page cache into memory. A second read then could be redirected by the kernel to the page cache within the operating system memory and thus would be much faster.
How does data expire out of the cache? If the data itself is changed, the page cache marks that data as dirty and it will be released from the page cache. As segments with Elasticsearch and Lucene are only written once, this mechanism fits very well the way data is stored. Segments are read-only after the initial write, so a change of data might be a merge or the addition of new data. In that case, a new disk access is needed. The other possibility is the memory getting filled up. In that case, the cache will behave similarly to an LRU as stated by the kernel documentation.
The page cache helps to execute arbitrary searches faster by loading complete index data structures in the main memory of your operating system. There is no more granularity and it is solely based on the access pattern of your data. The operating system takes care of eviction.
The query cache gets on the next granular level and can be reused across queries! With its built-in heuristics it only caches filters that are used several times and also decides based on the filter if it is worth caching or if the existing ways to query are fast enough to avoid wasting any heap memory. The lifecycle of those bit sets is bound to the lifecycle of a segment to prevent returning stale data. Once a new segment is in use, a new bit set needs to be created.
I hope you enjoyed the ride across the various caches, and now got a grasp when which cache will kick in when. Also keep in mind that monitoring your caches can be especially useful to figure out whether a cache makes sense or keeps getting thrashed due to constant addition and expiration. Once you enable monitoring of your Elastic cluster, you can see memory consumption of the query cache and the request cache in the Advanced tab of a node, as well as on a per-index base, if you look at a certain index: 2ff7e9595c
