Detailed Description

This interface is used for delta propagation.

To use delta propagation, an application class must derive from class Delta as well as class Cacheable publicly. The methods hasDelta( ), toDelta( ) and fromDelta( ) must be implemented by the class, as these methods are used by Geode to detect the presence of delta in an object, to serialize the delta, and to apply a serialized delta to an existing object of the class.

Member Function Documentation

clone()

virtual std::shared_ptr<Delta> apache::geode::client::Delta::clone ( ) const

pure virtual

Creates a copy of the object on which delta is to be applied via notification.

The region attribute for cloning must be set to 'true' in order to enable cloning.

fromDelta()

virtual void apache::geode::client::Delta::fromDelta ( DataInput &  in )

pure virtual

Reads in delta information to this object in a user-defined format.

This is invoked on an existing application object after Geode determines the presence of delta in DataInput instance.

Exceptions

IOException
InvalidDeltaException	if the delta in the DataInput instance cannot be applied to this instance (possible causes may include mismatch of Delta version or logic error).

hasDelta()

virtual bool apache::geode::client::Delta::hasDelta ( ) const

pure virtual

hasDelta( ) is invoked by Geode during Region::put( std::shared_ptr<CacheableKey>, std::shared_ptr<Cacheable> ) to determine if the object contains a delta.

If hasDelta( ) returns true, the delta in the object is serialized by invoking Delta::toDelta( DataOutput& ). If hasDelta( ) returns false, the object is serialized by invoking Cacheable::toData( DataOutput& ).

toDelta()

virtual void apache::geode::client::Delta::toDelta ( DataOutput &  out ) const

pure virtual

Writes out delta information to out in a user-defined format.

This is invoked on an application object after Geode determines the presence of delta in it by calling hasDelta() on the object.

Exceptions

IOException
