Interface TreeCache<K,V>

All Superinterfaces:

Lifecycle

All Known Implementing Classes:

TreeCacheImpl

public interface TreeCache<K,V>
extends Lifecycle

This is a tree-like facade around a Cache allowing for efficient tree-style access to cached data.

The primary purpose of this interface is to allow for efficient caching of tree-like structures such as directories, as well as to provide a compatibility layer with JBoss Cache 3.x and earlier.

For most purposes, we expect people to use the Cache interface directly as it is simpler.

The tree API assumes that a collection of Nodes, organized in a tree structure underneath a root node, contains key/value attributes of data.

Any locking happens on a node-level granularity, which means that all attributes on a node are atomic and in terms of locking, is coarse grained. At the same time, replication is fine grained, and only modified attributes in a Node are replicated.

Obtaining a TreeCache is done using the TreeCacheFactory.

   Cache cache = new DefaultCacheFactory().getCache();
   TreeCacheFactory tcf = new TreeCacheFactory();
   TreeCache tree = tcf.createTreeCache(cache);

move

void move(Fqn nodeToMove,
          Fqn newParent)
          throws NodeNotExistsException

Moves a part of the cache to a different subtree.

E.g.:

assume a cache structure such as:

  /a/b/c
  /a/b/d
  /a/b/e
 

 

  Fqn f1 = Fqn.fromString("/a/b/c");
  Fqn f2 = Fqn.fromString("/a/b/d");
 

  cache.move(f1, f2);
 

Will result in:

 

 /a/b/d/c
 /a/b/e
 

 

and now

  Fqn f3 = Fqn.fromString("/a/b/e");
  Fqn f4 = Fqn.fromString("/a");
  cache.move(f3, f4);
 

will result in:

 /a/b/d/c
 /a/e
 

No-op if the node to be moved is the root node.

Note: As of 3.0.0 and when using MVCC locking, more specific behaviour is defined as follows:

• A no-op if the node is moved unto itself. E.g., move(fqn, fqn.getParent()) will not do anything.
• If a target node does not exist it will be created silently, to be more consistent with other APIs such as put() on a nonexistent node.
• If the source node does not exist this is a no-op, to be more consistent with other APIs such as get() on a nonexistent node.

Parameters:

nodeToMove - the Fqn of the node to move.

newParent - new location under which to attach the node being moved.

Throws:

NodeNotExistsException - may throw one of these if the target node does not exist or if a different thread has moved this node elsewhere already.

IllegalStateException - if Cache.getStatus() would not return ComponentStatus.RUNNING.
