Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method, and/or computer program product embodiments for providing rolling updates of distributed systems with a shared cache. An embodiment operates by receiving a data item key corresponding to a request from a user profile operating on a media player and receiving a version identifier corresponding to a first version of an application operating on the media player. It is determined that a shared cache includes a first value and second value for the data item key. A key component is generated corresponding to the user profile. Both the generated key component and the data item key are provided to the shared cache, and the first value of the data item as stored in the shared cache is received. The first value of the first version of the data item is updated.

Providing rolling updates of distributed systems with a shared cache

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method, and/or computer program product embodiments for providing rolling updates of distributed systems with a shared cache. An embodiment operates by receiving a platform update request to update data item information associated with a first version of a data item cached in a shared cache memory. The embodiment may further operate by transmitting a cache update request to update the data item information of the first version of the data item cached in the shared cache memory, and isolating the first version of the data item cached in the shared cache memory based on a collection of version specific identifiers and a version agnostic identifier associated with the data item.

A method for a computer system includes receiving an identifier associated with a client streaming player, determining one or more attributes associated with the identifier from a data structure in response to the identifier, determining available channels from a plurality of channels that are to be made available to the client streaming player in response to the identifier, wherein available channels comprises a first channel, but not the second channel, determining a first graphical identifier associated with the first channel, providing the first graphical identifier to the client streaming player, receiving a user selection of the first graphical identifier indicating a user request to associate the first channel with the computer system, and providing an indicator of a server network address associated with the first channel to the client streaming player.
