Add comprehensive cache statistics to DefaultRequestCache

[gnodet]

Summary

Adds comprehensive cache statistics tracking to the DefaultRequestCache implementation, providing detailed insights into cache performance and usage patterns.

Features

Core Statistics

• Total Requests: Count of all cache requests made
• Cache Hits/Misses: Detailed hit/miss tracking with ratios
• Hit/Miss Ratios: Percentage calculations for performance analysis
• Cached Exceptions: Count of exceptions that were cached and re-thrown

Detailed Breakdowns

• Per-Request-Type Statistics: Hit/miss ratios broken down by request class name
• Per-Retention-Policy Statistics: Performance metrics by cache retention level (SESSION_SCOPED, PERSISTENT, REQUEST_SCOPED)
• Cache Size Monitoring: Current number of entries in each cache level
• Reset Functionality: Ability to reset all statistics counters

Thread Safety

• All counters use AtomicLong for thread-safe operations
• Concurrent access to statistics is fully supported
• No performance impact on cache operations

Implementation Details

New Classes

• CacheStatistics interface: Comprehensive API for accessing cache metrics
• DefaultCacheStatistics: Thread-safe implementation with atomic counters
• StatisticsCachingSupplier: Enhanced caching supplier that tracks hit/miss statistics

Enhanced Classes

• RequestCache interface: Added getStatistics() method
• DefaultRequestCache: Integrated statistics tracking with minimal overhead

API Design

// Access overall statistics
CacheStatistics stats = cache.getStatistics();
long totalRequests = stats.getTotalRequests();
double hitRatio = stats.getHitRatio();

// Per-request-type breakdown
Map<String, RequestTypeStatistics> requestStats = stats.getRequestTypeStatistics();
RequestTypeStatistics modelStats = requestStats.get("ModelRequest");

// Per-retention-policy breakdown
Map<CacheRetention, RetentionStatistics> retentionStats = stats.getRetentionStatistics();
RetentionStatistics sessionStats = retentionStats.get(CacheRetention.SESSION_SCOPED);

// Current cache sizes
Map<CacheRetention, Long> sizes = stats.getCacheSizes();
long persistentCacheSize = sizes.get(CacheRetention.PERSISTENT);

Benefits

Performance Monitoring

• Cache Effectiveness: Monitor hit ratios to assess cache performance
• Request Pattern Analysis: Understand which request types benefit most from caching
• Retention Policy Optimization: Compare effectiveness of different cache retention strategies

Debugging & Troubleshooting

• Cache Behavior Insights: Identify unexpected cache misses or low hit ratios
• Memory Usage Tracking: Monitor cache sizes to prevent memory issues
• Exception Analysis: Track cached exceptions for error pattern analysis

Production Monitoring

• Real-time Metrics: Access statistics during runtime for monitoring dashboards
• Performance Regression Detection: Track cache performance over time
• Capacity Planning: Use cache size data for resource planning

Testing

• Comprehensive Test Suite: CacheStatisticsTest covers all statistics functionality
• Thread Safety Verified: Atomic operations ensure concurrent access safety
• Backward Compatibility: All existing cache tests continue to pass
• Zero Performance Impact: Statistics tracking adds minimal overhead

Usage Examples

Basic Statistics

CacheStatistics stats = requestCache.getStatistics();
System.out.println("Cache Hit Ratio: " + stats.getHitRatio() + "%");
System.out.println("Total Requests: " + stats.getTotalRequests());

Request Type Analysis

stats.getRequestTypeStatistics().forEach((type, typeStats) -> {
    System.out.println(type + ": " + typeStats.getHitRatio() + "% hit ratio");
});

Cache Size Monitoring

stats.getCacheSizes().forEach((retention, size) -> {
    System.out.println(retention + " cache: " + size + " entries");
});

Impact

• Risk: Very Low - Additive feature with no changes to existing behavior
• Performance: Minimal overhead - only atomic counter increments
• Compatibility: Fully backward compatible
• Scope: Focused enhancement to cache subsystem only

This enhancement provides valuable insights into Maven's caching behavior without affecting existing functionality or performance.

This feels overly complex. Chances are we aren't going to need this level of abstraction and generality. I suggest starting with the simplest and most concrete thing that could work and expanding that if and when we need to.

[elharo]

Instead of experimental, can this just all move into the impl package and be made package private?

[elharo]

Why do we need an interface at all? There's only one implementation.

[elharo]

Combine CacheStatistics and DefaultCacheStatistics.

[elharo]

Mutable objects are risky. Could you just use a new object instead?

[gnodet]

I'll keep it in the impl instead.
