README

Generic caching helpers for Pulp pipelines.

Features

• Remember expensive sources: Wrap any source pipeline and reuse cached output on fresh cache hits.
• Pass-through caching: Cache any file that flows through a pipeline, independent of where it came from.
• Stale fallback: Keep jobs working with the last cached result if an upstream source fails.
• Multiple file support: Cache and restore one or more Pulp File objects via a manifest.
• Raw or serialized payloads: String payloads are stored as raw files; decoded arrays/objects are serialized.

Installation

composer require mapsight/pulp-cache

Remember a Source Pipeline

Use remember() when you want cache hits to skip an expensive upstream operation, such as a large HTTP download.

use OpenMapsight\Pulp;
use OpenMapsight\PulpCache;

$source = Pulp::start()
    ->pipe(Pulp::srcHttp(
        'GET',
        'https://example.com/data.zip',
        ['timeout' => 120],
        'data.zip'
    ));

$files = Pulp::start()
    ->pipe(PulpCache::remember($source, __DIR__ . '/cache', [
        'key' => 'example-data',
        'ttl' => 86400,
        'fallbackToStale' => true,
    ]))
    ->run();

On a fresh cache hit, the wrapped $source pipeline is not executed.

Cache Within a Pipeline

Use cache() as a regular pass-through handler when the upstream pipeline should still be part of the flow.

Pulp::start()
    ->pipe(Pulp::src('*.geojson', __DIR__ . '/input'))
    ->pipe(PulpCache::cache(__DIR__ . '/cache', [
        'ttl' => 3600,
    ]))
    ->pipe(Pulp::dest(__DIR__ . '/result'))
    ->run();

Options

• key (string): Stable cache key. Defaults to remember for remember() and the current file name for cache().
• ttl (int): Cache lifetime in seconds. Defaults to 86400.
• ttl < 0: Cache never expires.
• ttl = 0: Always refresh/write the cache.
• fallbackToStale (bool): For remember(), return stale cached files if the wrapped source fails. Defaults to true.

Cache Layout

Each cache key gets its own directory:

cache/
  example-data/
    manifest.json
    0000.zip
    0001.json

manifest.json stores the original Pulp file names, payload encoding, and cache file paths.

Notes

• Keep cache keys stable and independent of secrets.
• Do not use a public web directory as the cache directory if cached input contains private URLs, credentials, or paid data.
• remember() is best for source/subpipeline caching. cache() is best for caching an intermediate file in an already-running pipeline.
