How to programmatically invalidate a Quarkus Cache?

Question

I´m running into a problem where using the @CacheInvalidate annotation is not enough anymore.

One method has to erase two different caches, one of them uses two of the given arguments and the other uses all three.

@CacheInvalidate(cacheName = "cache-with-two-identifiers")
@CacheInvalidate(cacheName = "cache-with-three-identifiers")
public void doSomething(@CacheKey String identifier, @CacheKey String anotherIdentifier, String aThirdIdentifier){

}

The @CacheKey annotated arguments are used for the cache with two identifiers, so I cannot annotate the third argument as well, but it would be required to match the keys of the cache-with-three-identifiers.

The only solution I see so far is programmatically clearing the third-arg-cache within the method itself. How would you do that in Quarkus?

There is currently no programmatic caching API for Quarkus. There is already an open issue for it, you can +1 for it and provides feedback: https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/issues/8140
