    • Method Detail

      • openEventLog

        public abstract Backend.EventLog openEventLog​(String logId)
        Opens an event log with the given id. The returned object can be used to capture any common state related to this particular event log. An actual underlying connection is not needed until Backend.EventLog.subscribe(UUID, BiConsumer)} is invoked, but it is still recommended to make this method fail fast in case it would not be possible to open an actual underlying connection later.
        Parameters:
        logId - the id of the event log to open, not null
        Returns:
        an object representing the event log, not null
      • addMembershipListener

        public abstract Registration addMembershipListener​(MembershipListener membershipListener)
        Adds a listener of membership events. The listener will be notified of events dispatched when a node joins or leaves the backend.
        Parameters:
        membershipListener - the listener, not null
        Returns:
        a registration that can be used to remove the listener, not null
      • getNodeId

        public abstract UUID getNodeId()
        Gets the unique identifier of this backend node.
        Returns:
        the node id, not null
      • replaceSnapshot

        public abstract CompletableFuture<Void> replaceSnapshot​(String name,
                                                                UUID expectedId,
                                                                UUID newId,
                                                                String payload)
        Submits a snapshot payload of data identified by the given name. The latest submitted snapshot for that name can be loaded with loadLatestSnapshot(String).
        Parameters:
        name - the name identifying the date, not null
        expectedId - the unique ID of the expected current snapshot
        newId - the unique ID that the new snapshot will be stored with, not null
        payload - the snapshot payload, not null
        Returns:
        a completable future that will be resolved when the operation completes, not null
