- Method Detail
  - getPartitionsToFlushOut
```
int[] getPartitionsToFlushOut(java.util.Collection<java.lang.Integer> residentPartitions,
                              int minNumNodesToFlushOut)
                       throws LODNetworkException
```
    Returns the IDs of the partitions to be flushed out.
    
    Parameters:
    
    residentPartitions - resident partitions, which are the partitions to be excluded from the returned list.
    
    Returns:
    
    IDs of the partitions to be flushed out.
    
    Throws:
    
    LODNetworkException
  - updateRank
```
void updateRank(LogicalPartition partition)
```
    Updates the rank of the partition in the cache. The rank will be used to determine which partitions to be flushed out of the cache when getPartitionsToFlushOut() is called.
    
    Parameters:
    
    partition - the partition object whose rank is to be updated
  - clone
```
java.lang.Object clone()
                throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
```
    Creates and returns a copy of this CachingHandler object.
    
    Returns:
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
