  - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `void` | `constructCache​(SolverScope<Solution_> solverScope)` |
    `void` | `disposeCache​(SolverScope<Solution_> solverScope)` |
    `SelectionCacheType` | `getCacheType()` | Unless this selector itself caches, this returns `SelectionCacheType.JUST_IN_TIME`, even if a selector child caches.
    `MoveSelector<Solution_>` | `getChildMoveSelector()` |
    `long` | `getSize()` | A random JIT `Selector` with `Selector.isNeverEnding()` true should return a size as if it would be able to return each distinct element only once, because the size can be used in `SelectionProbabilityWeightFactory`.
    `boolean` | `isCountable()` | If false, then `Selector.isNeverEnding()` is true.

    - #### cacheType

          protected final SelectionCacheType cacheType

    - #### cachedMoveList

          protected List<Move<Solution_>> cachedMoveList

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### AbstractCachingMoveSelector

          public AbstractCachingMoveSelector​(MoveSelector<Solution_> childMoveSelector,
                                             SelectionCacheType cacheType)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getChildMoveSelector

          public MoveSelector<Solution_> getChildMoveSelector()

    - #### getCacheType

          public SelectionCacheType getCacheType()

      Description copied from interface: `Selector`
      Unless this selector itself caches, this returns `SelectionCacheType.JUST_IN_TIME`, even if a selector child caches.
      Specified by:
        `getCacheType` in interface `Selector<Solution_>`
      Overrides:
        `getCacheType` in class `AbstractSelector<Solution_>`
      Returns:
        never null

    - #### constructCache

          public void constructCache​(SolverScope<Solution_> solverScope)

      Specified by:
        `constructCache` in interface `SelectionCacheLifecycleListener<Solution_>`

    - #### disposeCache

          public void disposeCache​(SolverScope<Solution_> solverScope)

      Specified by:
        `disposeCache` in interface `SelectionCacheLifecycleListener<Solution_>`

    - #### isCountable

          public boolean isCountable()

      Description copied from interface: `Selector`
      If false, then `Selector.isNeverEnding()` is true.
      Specified by:
        `isCountable` in interface `Selector<Solution_>`
      Returns:
        true if all the `ValueRange`s are countable (for example a double value range between 1.2 and 1.4 is not countable)

    - #### getSize

          public long getSize()

      Description copied from interface: `IterableSelector`
      A random JIT `Selector` with `Selector.isNeverEnding()` true should return a size as if it would be able to return each distinct element only once, because the size can be used in `SelectionProbabilityWeightFactory`.
      Specified by:
        `getSize` in interface `IterableSelector<Solution_,​Move<Solution_>>`
      Returns:
        the approximate number of elements generated by this `Selector`, always `>= 0`
