caching optimization ... about atomspace-rpc HOT 8 OPEN

Thank you for looking into the code, Linas. About the suggestion to add caching, wouldn't it better to use cog-execute-cached on the client side instead of adding the caching to the server side? What if another client sends a different query with the same key? We will be returning a wrong result.

different query with the same key?

The keybase is per-atom. You can use the same key for all atoms.

server side

Well, part of the point is that you can pre-query 1001 typical, common queries, and then any client who does one of these typical common queries gets an instant answer.

And if you pre-query 1001 typical, common queries, and save them in rocksdb, then next time you reboot the server, you don't even have to pre-mine again,. They are still there.

I see. In that case I will make the change you suggested

Thank you!

From the example you gave above, the key is a handle instead of a string. So I should instantiate a handle from the input key string before using it to get previous values. But what is the type of this key handle(Atom)? I see in this example the type of the key is a PredicateNode. Does this mean key handles should have type PredicateNode or the choice is arbitrary?

The keys must always be Atoms. They can be any Atom, but if you just want something simple e.g. "a string", then use PredicateNode. The values can be any Value.

If you do use something simple, and you use the same key everywhere, then the naming convention is to surround it with asterisk-dashes: e.g (PredicateNode "*-MyWhizBangKey-*") or (PredicateNode "*-my-whiz-bang-key-*"). These work as "eyecatchers" and make it easier to spot in the code/in the data.

If you want to use fast-file-load i.e. NOT use guile when loading from files, then there are a dozen hard-coded string commands you can put in your file. They are in Commands.h, see /opencog/persist/sexpr/Commands.h for details.
