Write types for creating a file in Alluxio.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`ASYNC_THROUGH`	[Experimental] Write the file asynchronously to the under fs.
`CACHE_THROUGH`	Write the file synchronously to the under fs, and also try to write to the highest tier in a worker's Alluxio storage.
`MUST_CACHE`	Write the file, guaranteeing the data is written to Alluxio storage or failing the operation.
`NONE`	Do not store the data in Alluxio or Under Storage.
`THROUGH`	Write the file synchronously to the under fs, skipping Alluxio storage.
`TRY_CACHE`	Deprecated. This write type is deprecated as of v0.8 and not recommended for use.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - MUST_CACHE
```
public static final WriteType MUST_CACHE
```
    Write the file, guaranteeing the data is written to Alluxio storage or failing the operation. The data will be written to the highest tier in a worker's storage. Data will not be persisted to the under storage.
  - TRY_CACHE
```
@Deprecated
public static final WriteType TRY_CACHE
```
    Deprecated.
    This write type is deprecated as of v0.8 and not recommended for use. Use either MUST_CACHE or CACHE_THROUGH depending on your data persistence requirements.
    
    Write the file and try to cache it.
  - CACHE_THROUGH
```
public static final WriteType CACHE_THROUGH
```
    Write the file synchronously to the under fs, and also try to write to the highest tier in a worker's Alluxio storage.
  - THROUGH
```
public static final WriteType THROUGH
```
    Write the file synchronously to the under fs, skipping Alluxio storage.
  - ASYNC_THROUGH
```
public static final WriteType ASYNC_THROUGH
```
    [Experimental] Write the file asynchronously to the under fs.
  - NONE
```
public static final WriteType NONE
```
    Do not store the data in Alluxio or Under Storage. This write type should only be used for development testing.
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static WriteType[] 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 (WriteType c : WriteType.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static WriteType valueOf(java.lang.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:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getAlluxioStorageType
```
public AlluxioStorageType getAlluxioStorageType()
```
    Returns:
    
    the AlluxioStorageType which is associated with this mode
  - getUnderStorageType
```
public UnderStorageType getUnderStorageType()
```
    Returns:
    
    the UnderStorageType which is associated with this mode
  - getValue
```
public int getValue()
```
    Returns:
    
    the value of the write type
  - isAsync
```
public boolean isAsync()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if by this write type data will be persisted asynchronously to under storage (e.g., ASYNC_THROUGH), false otherwise
  - isCache
```
public boolean isCache()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if by this write type data will be cached in Alluxio space (e.g., MUST_CACHE, CACHE_THROUGH, TRY_CACHE, or ASYNC_THROUGH), false otherwise
  - isThrough
```
public boolean isThrough()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if by this write type data will be persisted synchronously to under storage (e.g., CACHE_THROUGH or THROUGH), false otherwise
  - fromProto
```
public static WriteType fromProto(alluxio.grpc.WritePType writePType)
```
    Parameters:
    
    writePType - proto type
    
    Returns:
    
    wire type for given proto type
  - toProto
```
public alluxio.grpc.WritePType toProto()
```
    Returns:
    
    proto representation of this instance
