Summary

Avoid the check/use race in UserData cache reads.

  • add a synchronized UserDataCache.getIfPresent(key) accessor
  • use it for integer and string cache reads instead of isCached(key) followed by access to the exposed HashMap
  • add regression coverage that verifies UserData no longer calls getCache() for these reads

This keeps cache replacement/retirement and the value observation under the same cache monitor.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved integer and text reads from the shared cache, including cache-only reads.
    • Cache misses now proceed to storage lookup when permitted, rather than returning a default because a key was marked cached without a value.
    • A cached text value that is null continues to return an empty string instead of triggering a storage lookup.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

UserDataCache adds synchronized methods to retrieve cached values and entries. UserData.getInt and getString use these methods. Tests cover cache misses, cache-only reads, present null string values, and storage precedence.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add synchronized cache accessors

getIfPresent returns a cached value or null when the cache is unavailable or the key is absent. getEntryIfPresent returns an entry for a present key, including when its value is null.

P1 Badge Update the existing fetch-mode fixture for the new accessor

When the full test suite reaches SqlUserDataFacadeTest.everyFetchModeRetainsTempUserCacheAndStoragePrecedence, its cache mock still stubs isCached("Points") and getCache() rather than getIfPresent(). Mockito therefore returns null here, so the CACHE_ONLY case returns -1 instead of the expected cached value 2, failing the required Maven test run. Update that fixture to stub the new atomic accessor.

P1 Badge Remove trailing whitespace from the new cache-read lines

These newly added CRLF-terminated lines, along with the corresponding getString additions, cause git diff --check d0a1df1^ d0a1df1 to report seven trailing-whitespace errors. Normalize the additions so the repository's mandatory pre-review check passes.

Preserve present-null entries in getString.

UserDataCache accepts replacement maps with null values. The changed getIfPresent call returns null for both an absent key and a present key with a null DataValue. In DEFAULT and NO_WAIT, getString can therefore reach the storage lookup instead of returning the previous "" result.

Use an atomic presence-aware cache read. Keep getInt unchanged so its storage fallback remains unchanged.

Suggested fix
+	public synchronized Entry<String, DataValue> getEntryIfPresent(String key) {
+		if (cache == null || !cache.containsKey(key)) return null;
+		return new java.util.AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry<>(key, cache.get(key));
+	}
-				DataValue cv = cache.getIfPresent(key);
-				if (cv != null) {
-					String str = cv.getString();
-					return (str != null) ? str : "";
+				Entry<String, DataValue> cached = cache.getEntryIfPresent(key);
+				if (cached != null) {
+					DataValue cv = cached.getValue();
+					if (cv != null) {
+						String str = cv.getString();
+						return (str != null) ? str : "";
+					}
+					return "";
 				}

P1 Badge Stub the accessor that getString actually calls

In CACHE_ONLY, UserData.getString now calls getEntryIfPresent, but this fixture stubs getIfPresent("PlayerName"); Mockito therefore returns null for the actual call, so line 172 receives "" instead of "Atomic" and the new regression test fails. Stub and verify getEntryIfPresent with an entry containing the expected value instead.

Stub the accessor used by the string read.

UserData.getString calls getEntryIfPresent("PlayerName"), not getIfPresent("PlayerName"). The unstubbed lookup returns null, so the CACHE_ONLY assertion expects "Atomic" but receives "". Stub getEntryIfPresent and update the corresponding verification.

Proposed test correction
-		when(cache.getIfPresent("PlayerName")).thenReturn(new DataValueString("Atomic"));
+		when(cache.getEntryIfPresent("PlayerName")).thenReturn(
+				new java.util.AbstractMap.SimpleImmutableEntry<>("PlayerName", new DataValueString("Atomic")));
...
-		verify(cache).getIfPresent("PlayerName");
+		verify(cache).getEntryIfPresent("PlayerName");
