LRU Cache

LRU Cache

LRU —— Least Recently Used，即 最近最少使用；也就是说LRU Cache把最近最少使用的数据移除，让给最新读取的数据，而往往最常读取的，也是读取次数最多的，所以，利用LRU Cache，能够提高系统的性能。

 

 

要实现 LRU 缓存，我们首先要用到一个类 LinkedHashMap。

用这个类有两大好处：

• 它本身已经实现了按照访问顺序的存储，也就是说，最近读取的会放在最前面，最不常读取的会放在最后（当然，它也可以实现按照插入顺序存储）。
• LinkedHashMap 本身有一个方法用于判断是否需要移除最不常读取的数，但是，原始方法默认不需要移除（这时LinkedHashMap 相当于一个Linkedlist），所以需要 override 这样一个方法，使得当缓存里存放的数据个数超过规定个数后，就把最不常用的移除掉。
