Cache Versioning and Migration System #311

@olodeokutaope-rgb

Description

@olodeokutaope-rgb

Implement a comprehensive cache versioning system that allows developers to version their cached function outputs and automatically handle cache migrations when function logic or return schemas change.

Technical Details:

  • Add a cache_version parameter to the @cachier decorator
  • Store version metadata alongside cached values in all backend cores
  • Implement automatic cache invalidation when version changes
  • Create a migration framework allowing custom migration functions between versions
  • Support semantic versioning (e.g., version="1.2.3")
  • Add migrate_cache(old_version, new_version, migration_func) API
  • Include backward compatibility mode to read old versions temporarily
  • Implement version compatibility checking and warnings

Use Cases:

  • Function logic changes requiring cache rebuild
  • Data schema evolution over time
  • Team collaboration with different code versions
  • Production deployments with zero-downtime migrations

Complexity Factors:

  • Requires changes to all backend cores (Pickle, MongoDB, Redis, SQL, Memory)
  • Schema migration logic for different backends
  • Thread-safe migration process
  • Rollback mechanisms for failed migrations
