Intro-to-Cache.RmdReproducible workflow
As part of a reproducible workflow, caching of function calls, code
chunks, and other elements of a project is a critical component. The
objective of a reproducible workflow is is likely that an entire work
flow from raw data to publication, decision support, report writing,
presentation building etc., could be built and be reproducible anywhere,
on any computer, operating system, with any starting conditions, on
demand. The reproducible::Cache function is built to work
with any R function.
Differences with other approaches
Cache users DBI as a backend, with key
functions, dbReadTable, dbRemoveTable,
dbSendQuery, dbSendStatement,
dbCreateTable and dbAppendTable. These can all
be accessed via Cache, showCache,
clearCache, and keepCache. It is optimized for
speed of transactions, using digest::digest on objects and
files. The main function is superficially similar to
archivist::cache, which uses digest::digest in
all cases to determine whether the arguments are identical in subsequent
iterations. It also but does many things that make standard
caching with digest::digest don’t work reliably between
systems. For these, the function .robustDigest is
introduced to make caching transferable between systems. This is
relevant for file paths, environments, parallel clusters, functions
(which are contained within an environment), and many others (e.g., see
?.robustDigest for methods). Cache also adds
important elements like automated tagging and the option to retrieve
disk-cached values via stashed objects in memory using
memoise::memoise. This means that running
Cache 1, 2, and 3 times on the same function will get
progressively faster. This can be extremely useful for web apps built
with, say shiny.
Function-level caching
Any function can be cached by wrapping Cache around the
function call, or by using base pipe |> or using:
Cache(FUN = functionName, ...)
This will be a slight change to a function call, such as:
terra::project(raster, crs = terra::crs(newRaster)) to
Cache(terra::project(raster, crs = terra::crs(newRaster)))
or
Cache(terra::project, raster, crs = terra::crs(newRaster))
or with the pipe
terra::project(raster, crs = terra::crs(newRaster)) |> Cache()
This is particularly useful for expensive operations.

Nested caching, which is when Caching of a function occurs inside an outer function, which is itself cached. This is a critical element to working within a reproducible work flow. It is not enough during development to cache flat code chunks, as there will be many levels of “slow” functions. Ideally, at all points in a development cycle, it should be possible to get to any line of code starting from the very initial steps, running through everything up to that point, in less than a few seconds. If the workflow can be kept very fast like this, then there is a guarantee that it will work at any point.

## Nested Caching
# Make 2 functions
inner <- function(mean) {
d <- 1
Cache(rnorm, n = 3, mean = mean)
}
outer <- function(n) {
Cache(inner, 0.1, cachePath = tmpdir2)
}
# make 2 different cache paths
tmpdir1 <- file.path(tempdir(), "first")
tmpdir2 <- file.path(tempdir(), "second")
# Run the Cache ... notOlderThan propagates to all 3 Cache calls,
# but cachePath is tmpdir1 in top level Cache and all nested
# Cache calls, unless individually overridden ... here inner
# uses tmpdir2 repository

## createdDatecacheId
Sometimes, it is not absolutely desirable to maintain the work flow
intact because changes that are irrelevant to the analysis, such as
changing messages sent to a user, may be changed, without a desire to
rerun functions. The cacheId argument is for this. Once a
piece of code is run, then the cacheId can be manually
extracted (it is reported at the end of a Cache call) and manually
placed in the code, passed in as, say,
cacheId = "ad184ce64541972b50afd8e7b75f821b".

## [1] ""Working with the Cache manually
Since the cache is simply a DBI data table (of an SQLite
database by default). In addition, there are several helpers in the
reproducible package, including showCache,
keepCache and clearCache that may be useful.
Also, one can access cached items manually (rather than simply rerunning
the same Cache function again).
# As of reproducible version 1.0, there is a new backend directly using DBI
mapHash <- unique(showCache(tmpDir, userTags = "project")$cacheId)## Cache size:## Total (including Rasters): 978 bytes## Selected objects (not including Rasters): 978 bytes
map <- loadFromCache(mapHash[1], cachePath = tmpDir)## Loaded! Cached result from previous call
terra::plot(map)
Alternative database backends
By default, caching relies on a sqlite database for it’s backend.
While this works in many situations, there are some important
limitations of using sqlite for caching, including 1) speed; 2)
concurrent transactions; 3) sharing database across machines or
projects. Fortunately, Cache makes use of DBI
package and thus supports several database backends, including mysql and
postgresql.
See https://github.com/PredictiveEcology/SpaDES/wiki/Using-alternate-database-backends-for-Cache for further information on configuring these additional backends.
