Bulk Load / Loader that will use loadAll()

Hey, is there any plan for releasing Cache implementation that would use Loader’s loadAll()? It’d help me a lot with my use case, where I fetch data from HTTP endpoint which supports requests by many IDs. So for 100k objects in cache I could do 1k HTTP requests if each request would fetch 100 IDs instead of 100k requests 1 by 1.

Expected behaviour:

• collect all cache entries eligible to refresh and load them via single loadAll method

A nice to have feature would be an option about the size of the batch OR time limit eg.: the batch size is 1.000, but after 2 minutes there’re only 512 keys eligible to load so the cache loads all the 512 keys and reset the timer

Just released a preview with bulk cache loader support of getAll, loadAll and invokeAll. https://github.com/cache2k/cache2k/releases/tag/v2.1.1.Alpha

There will be more tests with concurrency and further optimizations.

BTW do you know when you’ll be releasing this feature as regular version?

I plan to remove the old loader classes in org.cache2k.integration and some other deprecated things to clean up the interface. Expect to be finished in two weeks since I am in vacation next week.
