Request based caching of data store data

One or more processor readable storage devices having processor readable code embodied on said processor readable storage devices, said processor readable code comprising:

• code that receives a request and assigns said request to a thread of execution, said request relates to one or more entries in a data store
• code that determines that a first command arising from said request calls for access to a data store entry in said data store;
• and
• code that accesses a first entry in a cache object in response to said first command, said cache object is separate from said data store,
• wherein said first entry corresponds to said data store entry,
• wherein said cache object is associated with said thread of execution, and
• wherein said cache object is only accessed in response to commands arising from said request.

A system for caching data associated with a data store, said system comprising:

• means for receiving a request and assigning said request to a thread of execution, said request relates to one or more entries in said data store;
• means for determining that a first command arising from said request calls for access to a data store entry in said data store;
• and
• means for accessing a first entry in a cache object in response to said first command,
• wherein said first entry corresponds to said data store entry,
• wherein said cache object is associated with said thread of execution, and
• wherein said cache object is only accessed in response to commands arising from requests assigned to said thread of execution.

A method for caching data associated with entries in a data store accessed in response to a request assigned to a thread of execution, said method comprising the steps of:

• (a) determining that a first command arising from said request calls for access to a data store entry in said data store;
• (b) accessing a first entry in a cache object in response to said first command,
• wherein said first entry corresponds to said data store entry,
• wherein said cache object is not stored in said data store;
• wherein said cache object is associated with said thread of execution,
• wherein said thread of execution contains a thread local storage with a pointer to said cache object,
• wherein said cache object is only accessed in response to commands arising from said request assigned to said thread of execution,
• wherein said first command calls for writing a value to said data store entry, and
• wherein said step (b) includes the steps of:
• (1) writing said value to said first entry in said cache object, and
• (2) writing said value to said data store entry;
• (c) retrieving said value from said first entry in said cache object in response to a second command arising from said request, wherein said second command calls for a query from said data store entry;
• and
• (d) destroying said cache object in response to said request being completed.

A method for caching data associated with entries in a data store, comprising:

• receiving a particular request at an Identity System, said particular request calls for said Identity System to access a particular Identity System data entry in said data store;
• assigning a cache for said particular request, said cache is accessible to said particular request but not accessible to other requests, said cache is separate from said data store;
• and
• accessing a particular entry in said cache in response to said particular request calling for said Identity System to access said particular Identity System data entry in said data store, said particular entry in said cache corresponds to said particular Identity System data entry in said data store.

One or more processor readable storage devices having processor readable code embodied on said processor readable storage devices, said processor readable code for programming one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a particular request at an Identity System, said particular request calls for said Identity System to access a particular Identity System data entry in a data store;
• assigning a cache for said particular request, said cache is accessible to said particular request but not accessible to other requests, said cache is separate from said data store;
• and
• accessing a particular entry in said cache in response to said particular request calling for said Identity System to access said particular Identity System data entry in said data store, said particular entry in said cache corresponds to said particular Identity System data entry in said data store.

An Identity System, in communication with a data store, that caches data associated with entries in said data store, comprising:

• a communication interface;
• one or more storage devices;
• and
• one or more processors in communication with said one or more storage devices and said communication interface, wherein said one or more processors perform a method comprising:
• receiving a particular request, said particular request calls for said Identity System to access a particular Identity System data entry in said data store,
• assigning a cache for said particular request, said cache is accessible to said particular request but not accessible to other requests, said cache resides in said one or more storage devices and is separate from said data store, and
• accessing a particular entry in said cache in response to said particular request calling for said Identity System to access said particular Identity System data entry in said data store, said particular entry in said cache corresponds to said particular Identity System data entry in said data store.
