Interface DataSource

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable

public interface DataSource
extends java.io.Closeable

Interface for an object that receives updates to feature flags, user segments, and anything else that might come from LaunchDarkly, and passes them to a DataStore.

The standard implementations are:

• Components.streamingDataSource() (the default), which maintains a streaming connection to LaunchDarkly;
• Components.pollingDataSource(), which polls for updates at regular intervals;
• Components.externalUpdatesOnly(), which does nothing (on the assumption that another process will update the data store);
• FileData, which reads flag data from the filesystem.

Since:

5.0.0
