All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Flag>

public enum Flag
extends Enum<Flag>

Available flags, which may be set on a per-invocation basis. These are provided using the AdvancedCache interface, using some of the overloaded methods that allow passing in of a variable number of Flags.

• ZERO_LOCK_ACQUISITION_TIMEOUT - overrides the Configuration.setLockAcquisitionTimeout(long) configuration setting by ensuring lock managers use a 0-millisecond lock acquisition timeout. Useful if you only want to acquire a lock on an entry if and only if the lock is uncontended.
• CACHE_MODE_LOCAL - forces LOCAL mode opersation, even if the cache is configured to use a clustered mode like replication, invalidation or distribution. Applying this flag will suppress any RPC messages otherwise associated with this invocation.
• SKIP_LOCKING - bypasses lock acquisition for this invocation altogether. A potentially dangerous flag, as it can lead to inconsistent data.
• FORCE_WRITE_LOCK - forces a write lock, even if the invocation is a read operation. Useful when reading an entry to later update it within the same transaction, and is analogous in behavior and use case to a select ... for update ... SQL statement.
• SKIP_CACHE_STATUS_CHECK - skips checking whether a cache is in a receptive state, i.e. is ComponentStatus.RUNNING. May break operation in weird ways!
• FORCE_ASYNCHRONOUS - forces asynchronous network calls where possible, even if otherwise configured to use synchronous network calls. Only applicable to non-local, clustered caches.
• FORCE_SYNCHRONOUS - forces synchronous network calls where possible, even if otherwise configured to use asynchronous network calls. Only applicable to non-local, clustered caches.
• SKIP_CACHE_STORE - skips storing an entry to any configured CacheStores.
• FAIL_SILENTLY - swallows any exceptions, logging them instead at a low log level. Will prevent a failing operation from affecting any ongoing JTA transactions as well.
• SKIP_REMOTE_LOOKUP - when used with distributed cache mode, will prevent retrieving a remote value either when executing a get() or exists(), or to provide an overwritten return value for a put() or remove(). This would render return values for some operations (such as Map.put(Object, Object) or Map.remove(Object) unusable, in exchange for the performance gains of reducing remote calls.
• PUT_FOR_EXTERNAL_READ - flags the invocation as a Cache.putForExternalRead(Object, Object) call, as opposed to a regular Map.put(Object, Object).

Enum Constant Detail

ZERO_LOCK_ACQUISITION_TIMEOUT

public static final Flag ZERO_LOCK_ACQUISITION_TIMEOUT

Overrides the Configuration.setLockAcquisitionTimeout(long) configuration setting by ensuring lock managers use a 0-millisecond lock acquisition timeout. Useful if you only want to acquire a lock on an entry if and only if the lock is uncontended.

CACHE_MODE_LOCAL

public static final Flag CACHE_MODE_LOCAL

Forces LOCAL mode opersation, even if the cache is configured to use a clustered mode like replication, invalidation or distribution. Applying this flag will suppress any RPC messages otherwise associated with this invocation.

SKIP_LOCKING

public static final Flag SKIP_LOCKING

Bypasses lock acquisition for this invocation altogether. A potentially dangerous flag, as it can lead to inconsistent data.

FORCE_WRITE_LOCK

public static final Flag FORCE_WRITE_LOCK

Forces a write lock, even if the invocation is a read operation. Useful when reading an entry to later update it within the same transaction, and is analogous in behavior and use case to a select ... for update ... SQL statement.

SKIP_CACHE_STATUS_CHECK

public static final Flag SKIP_CACHE_STATUS_CHECK

Skips checking whether a cache is in a receptive state, i.e. is ComponentStatus.RUNNING. May break operation in weird ways!

FORCE_ASYNCHRONOUS

public static final Flag FORCE_ASYNCHRONOUS

Forces asynchronous network calls where possible, even if otherwise configured to use synchronous network calls. Only applicable to non-local, clustered caches.

FORCE_SYNCHRONOUS

public static final Flag FORCE_SYNCHRONOUS

Forces synchronous network calls where possible, even if otherwise configured to use asynchronous network calls. Only applicable to non-local, clustered caches.

SKIP_CACHE_STORE

public static final Flag SKIP_CACHE_STORE

Skips storing an entry to any configured CacheStores.

FAIL_SILENTLY

public static final Flag FAIL_SILENTLY

Swallows any exceptions, logging them instead at a low log level. Will prevent a failing operation from affecting any ongoing JTA transactions as well.

SKIP_REMOTE_LOOKUP

public static final Flag SKIP_REMOTE_LOOKUP

When used with distributed cache mode, will prevent retrieving a remote value either when executing a get() or exists(), or to provide an overwritten return value for a put() or remove(). This would render return values for some operations (such as Map.put(Object, Object) or Map.remove(Object) unusable, in exchange for the performance gains of reducing remote calls.

PUT_FOR_EXTERNAL_READ

public static final Flag PUT_FOR_EXTERNAL_READ

Flags the invocation as a Cache.putForExternalRead(Object, Object) call, as opposed to a regular Map.put(Object, Object).

Method Detail

values

public static Flag[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Flag c : Flag.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Flag valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
