CacheStore - ForgetMany

[Mat-Moo]

We have Put, PutMany, get, many, but there is no way to forget more than one item at a time.
Use case - We have a job that pulls in data from a table, these are matched against redis keys, and then merged with a second array to process. For each one of these rows (can be up to 10k+) we have to update the db row and forget the cache key. Updating 10k rows in a db is outside the loop with a bulk update, but we have to make 10k+ calls to forget redis keys in the loop... not ideal

I'm not sure about other cache system, but redis DEL command already can take mulitple keys

It will probably end up being a foreach loop anyway. PutMany works that way.

Redis del takes multiple parameters...

[henzeb]

Redis does, the way laravel has set up the driver does not....

[Mat-Moo]

Hence why I'm suggesting a new method to follow along the lines of the other Many versions, if you can put many why not forgetMany?

Well, I finally had some peace and quiet and I saw we already have a deleteMultiple.

framework/src/Illuminate/Cache/Repository.php

Line 557 in abc1faa

public function deleteMultiple($keys): bool

As you can see here, it just loops through the array of keys and then calls forget.

as for many/getMultiple:

framework/src/Illuminate/Cache/Repository.php

Line 140 in abc1faa

public function many(array $keys)

That also loops through the keys.

changing that also requires changing all the drivers. It will probably be a change for 12.x.
