All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable

 class ReadWatcher
extends SingletonQueryWatcher

Subclass of QueryWatcher for non-transactional reads. Resolves with the first matching transition where the transaction is null and the entry is visible (the entry's current state is ignored).

Constructor Detail

ReadWatcher

ReadWatcher(long expiration,
           long timestamp,
           long startOrdinal)

Create a new ReadWatcher.

Parameters:

expiration - the initial expiration time for this TransitionWatcher in milliseconds since the beginning of the epoch.

timestamp - the value that is used to sort TransitionWatchers.

startOrdinal - the highest ordinal associated with operations that are considered to have occurred before the operation associated with this watcher.

Method Detail

isInterested

boolean isInterested(EntryTransition transition,
                   long ordinal)

Description copied from class: TransitionWatcher

Return true if this watcher cares about a given visibility transition. Assumes the transitioning entry matches the template in the TemplateHandle associated with this watcher. This method should return a value even if the expiration time has been reached or remove has been called. This call should not obtain any locks.

Specified by:

isInterested in class TransitionWatcher

Parameters:

transition - A EntryTransition that describes the transition and what entry is transitioning. This method will assume that transition.getHandle returns a non-null value.

ordinal - The ordinal associated with transition.

Returns:

true if this watcher is interested in the indicated transition and false otherwise.

process

void process(EntryTransition transition,
           long now)

Description copied from class: TransitionWatcher

Process the given transition. Assumes the passed entry matches the template in the TemplateHandle associated with this watcher and that isInterested returned true. This call may make changes to the passed EntryHandle that will prevent it from being used by other watchers. If remove has been called or the expiration time of this watcher has passed, this call should have no effect. This call may cause the watcher to be removed.

Specified by:

process in class TransitionWatcher

Parameters:

transition - A EntryTransition that describes the transition and what entry is transitioning. This method will assume that transition.getHandle returns a non-null value.

now - An estimate of the current time (not the time when the event occured).

catchUp

boolean catchUp(EntryTransition transition,
              long now)

Description copied from class: QueryWatcher

Process a transition which was posted before the watcher was placed in TransitionWatchers object. Assumes that the entry in the transition matches matches the template in the TemplateHandle associated with this watcher. Does not assume isInterested has been called.

Specified by:

catchUp in class QueryWatcher

Parameters:

transition - A EntryTransition that describes the transition and what entry is transitioning. This method will assume that transition.getHandle returns a non-null value.

now - An estimate of the current time (not the time when the event occured).

Returns:

true if the query has been resolved, and false otherwise. Note, even if this call returns true, waitOnResolution must still be called.
