// if you ever wanted to. This might be useful down the road
// for cache differentials in a distributed system. There's also
// LoadCacheFromUrl() with an eye toward distribution down the
// road
// remember if we create new TmdbEntry instances like movie or
// TV objects, they will use the existing cache rather than
// fetching from TMDB.
// So, since we loaded the cache we should now be able to do
show = new TmdbShow(3050);
Console.WriteLine("This is cached: {0}", show.Name);
// without making any remote requests.
// use value equality semantics.
// get the show again, this time through a search.
// searches themselves are not cached, but each individual result
// is. That means The Practice will get filled in with any additional
// data returned from the search query.
var showComparand = Tmdb.SearchShows("The Practice", minPage: 0, maxPage: 0)[0];
// check to make sure showComparand and show are actually two different TmdbShow wrapper instances
// should report that they are different
Console.WriteLine("Instances are {0} actual objects", ReferenceEquals(show, showComparand) ? "the same" : "different");
// check to make sure showComparand and show are actually logically equal.
// should report that they are the equal
Console.WriteLine("Instances are logically {0}", show == showComparand ? "equal" : "not equal");
// NOTES:
// Clearing the cache "unroots" all existing instances of TmdbEntry
// derived classes. They will no longer operate on anything you have a
// root for. In fact, they are still writing to parts of the old cache.
// The moral is don't hang on to object instances for longer than you need
// them. Don't store them as class members or in collections just because.
// Instead, use them and throw them away. Get a new object when you need
// it. This will ensure that the most current cache is the one being used.
// our show and movie instances are still valid, but are not writing or
// reading from the current cache.
// This also impacts equality. Objects from the old cache cannot be compared
// to objects from the new cache. They will always return false.
// Because of the above, it's best to release all instances of the old objects
// when you clear the cache. The system does not track which object instances
// are expired objects. You can check if an object is expired manually, but it's
// expensive.
// ideally, a batch of operations is performed, then the cache can be cleared, then
// the next batch (with all new objects) is performed, if you clear the cache at all.
// a server app or a long running desktop app should clear it periodically, but doing
// so will make a bunch of HTTP requests happen again, even if they already happened
// since they weren't cached anymore.
// The HTTP requests might be cached through the second level caching mechanism.
//
// if you like, you can save and load the cache from disk, that way you can keep the cache
// across application runs. Eventually it will get big and stale though. In the future I
// might monitor the Tmdb.Configuration.ChangeKeys to expire old objects, if i can figure
// out how it works exactly.
