Abstract
A computer method and system of caching. In a multi-threaded application, different threads execute respective transactions accessing a data store (e.g. database) from a single server. The method and system represent status of datastore transactions using respective certain (e.g. Future) parameters. Results of the said transactions are cached based on transaction status as represented by the certain parameters and on data store determination of a subject transaction. The caching employs a two stage commit and effectively forms a two level cache. One levels maps from datastore keys to entries in the cache. Each entry stores a respective last known commit value. The second level provides an optional mapping from a respective transaction as represented by the corresponding certain parameter to an updated value.
