BuildCacheService (Gradle API 8.11)

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable

All Known Implementing Classes:

MapBasedBuildCacheService
```
public interface BuildCacheService
extends java.io.Closeable
```
Protocol interface to be implemented by a client to a build cache backend.
Build cache implementations should report a non-fatal failure as a BuildCacheException. Non-fatal failures could include failing to retrieve a cache entry or unsuccessfully completing an upload a new cache entry. Gradle will not fail the build when catching a BuildCacheException, but it may disable caching for the build if too many failures occur.

All other failures will be considered fatal and cause the Gradle build to fail. Fatal failures could include failing to read or write cache entries due to file permissions, authentication or corruption errors.

Every build cache implementation should define a org.gradle.caching.configuration.BuildCache configuration and BuildCacheServiceFactory factory.

- Method Detail
  - load
```
boolean load(BuildCacheKey key,
             BuildCacheEntryReader reader)
      throws BuildCacheException
```
    Load the cached entry corresponding to the given cache key. The reader will be called if an entry is found in the cache.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the cache key.
    
    reader - the reader to read the data corresponding to the cache key.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if an entry was found, false otherwise.
    
    Throws:
    
    BuildCacheException - if the cache fails to load a cache entry for the given key
  - store
```
void store(BuildCacheKey key,
           BuildCacheEntryWriter writer)
    throws BuildCacheException
```
    Store the cache entry with the given cache key. The writer will be called to actually write the data.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the cache key.
    
    writer - the writer to write the data corresponding to the cache key.
    
    Throws:
    
    BuildCacheException - if the cache fails to store a cache entry for the given key
  - close
```
void close()
    throws java.io.IOException
```
    Clean up any resources held by the cache once it's not used anymore.
