> If cache is full, and try doing a put with no buffer space left available
> (i.e. cache is full) so a null pointer is returned from the memorymanager,
> this is then put into the hashmap holding keys and values, thus causing npe.
> Solutions proposed to fix this:
> When null is returned from memory manager on allocation we dont put into the
> key pointer map, and return null.
> Questions to pose for how we want behaviour:
> If key already exists in cache (i.e. update) do we want to remove existing
> key/pointer (as obviously user wants a new value), and thus avoids incorrect
> data presented.
> Or by returning null to the user we expect them to know that update failed
> and existing pointer /data will be kept.
> Or finally we allow behaviour configurable?
