Class PathChildrenCache

java.lang.Object
  com.netflix.curator.framework.recipes.cache.PathChildrenCache

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable

public class PathChildrenCache
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Closeable

A utility that attempts to keep all data from all children of a ZK path locally cached. This class will watch the ZK path, respond to update/create/delete events, pull down the data, etc. You can register a listener that will get notified when changes occur.

IMPORTANT - it's not possible to stay transactionally in sync. Users of this class must be prepared for false-positives and false-negatives. Additionally, always use the version number when updating data to avoid overwriting another process' change.

Method Detail

start

public void start()
           throws java.lang.Exception

Start the cache. The cache is not started automatically. You must call this method.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - errors

start

public void start(boolean buildInitial)
           throws java.lang.Exception

Deprecated. use start(StartMode)

Same as start() but gives the option of doing an initial build

Parameters:

buildInitial - if true, rebuild() will be called before this method returns in order to get an initial view of the node; otherwise, the cache will be initialized asynchronously

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - errors

start

public void start(PathChildrenCache.StartMode mode)
           throws java.lang.Exception

Start the cache. The cache is not started automatically. You must call this method.

Parameters:

mode - Method for priming the cache

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - errors

rebuild

public void rebuild()
             throws java.lang.Exception

NOTE: this is a BLOCKING method. Completely rebuild the internal cache by querying for all needed data WITHOUT generating any events to send to listeners.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - errors

rebuildNode

public void rebuildNode(java.lang.String fullPath)
                 throws java.lang.Exception

NOTE: this is a BLOCKING method. Rebuild the internal cache for the given node by querying for all needed data WITHOUT generating any events to send to listeners.

Parameters:

fullPath - full path of the node to rebuild

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - errors

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Close/end the cache

Specified by:

close in interface java.io.Closeable

Throws:

java.io.IOException - errors

getListenable

public com.netflix.curator.framework.listen.ListenerContainer<PathChildrenCacheListener> getListenable()

Return the cache listenable

Returns:

listenable

getCurrentData

public java.util.List<ChildData> getCurrentData()

Return the current data. There are no guarantees of accuracy. This is merely the most recent view of the data. The data is returned in sorted order.

Returns:

list of children and data

getCurrentData

public ChildData getCurrentData(java.lang.String fullPath)

Return the current data for the given path. There are no guarantees of accuracy. This is merely the most recent view of the data. If there is no child with that path, null is returned.

Parameters:

fullPath - full path to the node to check

Returns:

data or null

clearDataBytes

public void clearDataBytes(java.lang.String fullPath)

As a memory optimization, you can clear the cached data bytes for a node. Subsequent calls to ChildData.getData() for this node will return null.

Parameters:

fullPath - the path of the node to clear

clearDataBytes

public boolean clearDataBytes(java.lang.String fullPath,
                              int ifVersion)

As a memory optimization, you can clear the cached data bytes for a node. Subsequent calls to ChildData.getData() for this node will return null.

Parameters:

fullPath - the path of the node to clear

ifVersion - if non-negative, only clear the data if the data's version matches this version

Returns:

true if the data was cleared

clearAndRefresh

public void clearAndRefresh()
                     throws java.lang.Exception

Clear out current data and begin a new query on the path

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - errors

clear

public void clear()

Clears the current data without beginning a new query and without generating any events for listeners.

handleException

protected void handleException(java.lang.Throwable e)

Default behavior is just to log the exception

Parameters:

e - the exception

remove

protected void remove(java.lang.String fullPath)
