Allow plugins to define their own caches' attributes

    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      It is possible for plugins to do an expensive per-Confluence startup calculation and store the data in the cache. If the plugin can keep the data updated throughout the lifecycle, it would a disadvantage if that calculated data is wiped away automatically every hour.

      It would be nice if the plugin could tell the caching system:

      "For cache XYZ, don't ever automatically invalidate anything in it"

            m@ (Inactive) added a comment -

            Confluence 5.5 has shipped a new Cache API which allows for more control over any cache you create.

            It's not a great idea to have a cache that never expires, but if you need something like this, the new cache api will allow you to set a large expiry time.

            I will close the issue as Obsolete assuming this new API covers this use case, feel free to reopen if it does now.
