设计 LRU cache

Constraints & assumptions

我们在 cache 什么？
- cache web queries 的结果
可以假设输入都是 valid，还是需要 validate？
- Assume they're valid
可以假设能放进 memory 吗？
- Yes

Solution

%%writefile lru_cache.py
class Node(object):

    def __init__(self, results):
        self.results = results
        self.prev = None
        self.next = None


class LinkedList(object):

    def __init__(self):
        self.head = None
        self.tail = None

    def move_to_front(self, node):  # ...
    def append_to_front(self, node):  # ...
    def remove_from_tail(self):  # ...


class Cache(object):

    def __init__(self, MAX_SIZE):
        self.MAX_SIZE = MAX_SIZE
        self.size = 0
        self.lookup = {}  # key: query, value: node
        self.linked_list = LinkedList()

    def get(self, query)
        """Get the stored query result from the cache.

        Accessing a node updates its position to the front of the LRU list.
        """
        node = self.lookup.get(query)
        if node is None:
            return None
        self.linked_list.move_to_front(node)
        return node.results

    def set(self, results, query):
        """Set the result for the given query key in the cache.

        When updating an entry, updates its position to the front of the LRU list.

        """
        node = self.lookup.get(query)
        if node is not None:
            # Key exists in cache, update the value
            node.results = results
            self.linked_list.move_to_front(node)

                self.linked_list.remove_from_tail()
            else:
                self.size += 1

            new_node = Node(results)
            self.linked_list.append_to_front(new_node)
            self.lookup[query] = new_node
