How to cache results in scala?

Question

This page has a description of Map\'s getOrElseUpdate usage method:

object WithCache{
  val cacheFun1 = collection.mutable.Map[Int, Int]()
  def         


        

Answer 1

See the Memo pattern and the Scalaz implementation of said paper.

Also check out a STM implementation such as Akka.

Not that this is only local caching so you might want to lookinto a distributed cache or STM such as CCSTM, Terracotta or Hazelcast
