SimpleCacheMetrics constructor

Tracks and aggregates statistics related to cache operations for a specific cache instance.

This internal metrics container collects raw events (hits, misses, puts, evictions, expirations) and exposes aggregate insights used by JetLeaf cache managers and observability layers.

Purpose

• Provide a lightweight in-memory store of cache events for a single cache instance identified by its name.
• Enable calculation of derived metrics such as hit rate and totals.
• Produce a serializable graph/summary used by monitoring, debugging, or remote telemetry subsystems via buildGraph.

Behavior

• Events are appended to plain List<Object> buckets; entries are stored as Object to avoid coupling to a specific key type. The stringified representation (toString()) is used when building grouped summaries.
• The class is designed for instrumentation rather than long-term storage — callers may reset metrics via reset to begin a new collection window.

Related

• CacheMetrics — interface implemented by this class.
• Useful external consumers: CacheManager, instrumentation/telemetry exporters, health checks.
• Commonly referenced methods (for documentation tracking): buildGraph, getNumberOfPutOperations, getHitRate, getTotalNumberOfAccesses, reset.

Example

final metrics = SimpleCacheMetrics('userCache'); // internal per-cache metrics
metrics.recordHit('user:42');
metrics.recordPut('user:42');
final graph = metrics.buildGraph(); // structured summary for telemetry

Creates an internal metrics collector bound to a single cache instance name. The provided _name is used when generating summaries and graphs.
