```
    Open DB as secondary instance with only the default column family.
    The secondary instance can dynamically tail the MANIFEST of a primary that must have already been created. User can call tryCatchUpWithPrimary() to make the secondary instance catch up with primary (WAL tailing is NOT supported now) whenever the user feels necessary. Column families created by the primary after the secondary instance starts are currently ignored by the secondary instance. Column families opened by secondary and dropped by the primary will be dropped by secondary as well. However the user of the secondary instance can still access the data of such dropped column family as long as they do not destroy the corresponding column family handle. WAL tailing is not supported at present, but will arrive soon.
    
    Parameters:
    
    options - the options to open the secondary instance.
    
    path - the path to the primary RocksDB instance.
    
    secondaryPath - points to a directory where the secondary instance stores its info log

```
    Open DB as secondary instance with column families. You can open a subset of column families in secondary mode.
    The secondary instance can dynamically tail the MANIFEST of a primary that must have already been created. User can call tryCatchUpWithPrimary() to make the secondary instance catch up with primary (WAL tailing is NOT supported now) whenever the user feels necessary. Column families created by the primary after the secondary instance starts are currently ignored by the secondary instance. Column families opened by secondary and dropped by the primary will be dropped by secondary as well. However the user of the secondary instance can still access the data of such dropped column family as long as they do not destroy the corresponding column family handle. WAL tailing is not supported at present, but will arrive soon.
    
    Parameters:
    
    options - the options to open the secondary instance.
    
    path - the path to the primary RocksDB instance.
    
    secondaryPath - points to a directory where the secondary instance stores its info log.
    
    columnFamilyDescriptors - list of column family descriptors
    
    columnFamilyHandles - will be filled with ColumnFamilyHandle instances on open.
    
    Returns:
    
    a RocksDB instance on success, null if the specified RocksDB can not be opened.
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - thrown if error happens in underlying native library.
  - closeE
```
public void closeE()
            throws RocksDBException
```
    This is similar to close() except that it throws an exception if any error occurs.
    This will not fsync the WAL files. If syncing is required, the caller must first call syncWal() or write(WriteOptions, WriteBatch) using an empty write batch with WriteOptions.setSync(boolean) set to true.
    See also close().
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - if an error occurs whilst closing.
  - close
```
public void close()
```
    This is similar to closeE() except that it silently ignores any errors.
    This will not fsync the WAL files. If syncing is required, the caller must first call syncWal() or write(WriteOptions, WriteBatch) using an empty write batch with WriteOptions.setSync(boolean) set to true.
    See also close().

```
    Remove the database entry for key. Requires that the key exists and was not overwritten. It is not an error if the key did not exist in the database.
    If a key is overwritten (by calling put(byte[], byte[]) multiple times), then the result of calling SingleDelete() on this key is undefined. SingleDelete() only behaves correctly if there has been only one Put() for this key since the previous call to SingleDelete() for this key.
    This feature is currently an experimental performance optimization for a very specific workload. It is up to the caller to ensure that SingleDelete is only used for a key that is not deleted using Delete() or written using Merge(). Mixing SingleDelete operations with Deletes and Merges can result in undefined behavior.

```
    Remove the database entry for key. Requires that the key exists and was not overwritten. It is not an error if the key did not exist in the database.
    If a key is overwritten (by calling put(byte[], byte[]) multiple times), then the result of calling SingleDelete() on this key is undefined. SingleDelete() only behaves correctly if there has been only one Put() for this key since the previous call to SingleDelete() for this key.
    This feature is currently an experimental performance optimization for a very specific workload. It is up to the caller to ensure that SingleDelete is only used for a key that is not deleted using Delete() or written using Merge(). Mixing SingleDelete operations with Deletes and Merges can result in undefined behavior.
    Note: consider setting WriteOptions.setSync(boolean) true.

public boolean keyExists(byte[] key)
```
    Check if a key exists in the database. This method is not as lightweight as keyMayExist but it gives a 100% guarantee of a correct result, whether the key exists or not. Internally it checks if the key may exist and then double checks with read operation that confirms the key exists. This deals with the case where keyMayExist may return a false positive. The code crosses the Java/JNI boundary only once.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - byte array of a key to search for*
    
    Returns:
    
    true if key exist in database, otherwise false.

    Check if a key exists in the database. This method is not as lightweight as keyMayExist but it gives a 100% guarantee of a correct result, whether the key exists or not. Internally it checks if the key may exist and then double checks with read operation that confirms the key exists. This deals with the case where keyMayExist may return a false positive. The code crosses the Java/JNI boundary only once.
    
    Parameters:
    
    readOptions - ReadOptions instance
    
    key - byte array of a key to search for
    
    offset - the offset of the "key" array to be used, must be non-negative and no larger than "key".length
    
    len - the length of the "key" array to be used, must be non-negative and no larger than "key".length
    
    Returns:
    
    true if key exist in database, otherwise false.

    DB implements can export properties about their state via this method on a per column family level.
    If property is a valid property understood by this DB implementation, fills value with its current value and returns true. Otherwise returns false.
    
    Valid property names include:
    - "rocksdb.num-files-at-level<N>" - return the number of files at level <N>, where <N> is an ASCII representation of a level number (e.g. "0").
    - "rocksdb.stats" - returns a multi-line string that describes statistics about the internal operation of the DB.
    - "rocksdb.sstables" - returns a multi-line string that describes all of the sstables that make up the db contents.
    Parameters:
    
    columnFamilyHandle - ColumnFamilyHandle instance, or null for the default column family.
    
    property - to be fetched. See above for examples

  - getLongProperty
```
public long getLongProperty(java.lang.String property)
                     throws RocksDBException
```
    Similar to GetProperty(), but only works for a subset of properties whose return value is a numerical value. Return the value as long.
    
    Note: As the returned property is of type uint64_t on C++ side the returning value can be negative because Java supports in Java 7 only signed long values.
    
    Java 7: To mitigate the problem of the non existent unsigned long tpye, values should be encapsulated using BigInteger to reflect the correct value. The correct behavior is guaranteed if 2^64 is added to negative values.
    
    Java 8: In Java 8 the value should be treated as unsigned long using provided methods of type Long.
    
    Parameters:
    
    property - to be fetched.
    
    Returns:
    
    numerical property value.

    Note that the behavior is different from compactRange(ColumnFamilyHandle, byte[], byte[]) in that CompactFiles() performs the compaction job using the CURRENT thread.
    
    Parameters:
    
    compactionOptions - compaction options
    
    columnFamilyHandle - columnFamilyHandle, or null for the default column family
    
    inputFileNames - the name of the files to compact
    
    outputLevel - the level to which they should be compacted
    
    outputPathId - the id of the output path, or -1
    
    compactionJobInfo - the compaction job info, this parameter will be updated with the info from compacting the files, can just be null if you don't need it.
    
    Returns:
    
    the list of compacted files
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - if an error occurs during compaction
  - cancelAllBackgroundWork
```
public void cancelAllBackgroundWork(boolean wait)
```
    This function will cancel all currently running background processes.
    
    Parameters:
    
    wait - if true, wait for all background work to be cancelled before returning.
  - pauseBackgroundWork
```
public void pauseBackgroundWork()
                         throws RocksDBException
```
    This function will wait until all currently running background processes finish. After it returns, no background process will be run until continueBackgroundWork() is called
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - if an error occurs when pausing background work
  - continueBackgroundWork
```
public void continueBackgroundWork()
                            throws RocksDBException
```
    Resumes background work which was suspended by previously calling pauseBackgroundWork()
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - if an error occurs when resuming background work
  - enableAutoCompaction
```
public void enableAutoCompaction(java.util.List<ColumnFamilyHandle> columnFamilyHandles)
                          throws RocksDBException
```
    Enable automatic compactions for the given column families if they were previously disabled.
    The function will first set the ColumnFamilyOptions.disableAutoCompactions() option for each column family to false, after which it will schedule a flush/compaction.
    NOTE: Setting disableAutoCompactions to 'false' through setOptions(ColumnFamilyHandle, MutableColumnFamilyOptions) does NOT schedule a flush/compaction afterwards, and only changes the parameter itself within the column family option.
    
    Parameters:
    
    columnFamilyHandles - the column family handles
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - if an error occurs whilst enabling auto-compaction

  - flush
```
public void flush(FlushOptions flushOptions)
           throws RocksDBException
```
    Flush all memory table data.
    
    Note: it must be ensured that the FlushOptions instance is not GC'ed before this method finishes. If the wait parameter is set to false, flush processing is asynchronous.
    
    Parameters:
    
    flushOptions - FlushOptions instance.
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - thrown if an error occurs within the native part of the library.
  - flush
```
public void flush(FlushOptions flushOptions,
                  ColumnFamilyHandle columnFamilyHandle)
           throws RocksDBException
```
    Flush all memory table data.
    
    Note: it must be ensured that the FlushOptions instance is not GC'ed before this method finishes. If the wait parameter is set to false, flush processing is asynchronous.
    
    Parameters:
    
    flushOptions - FlushOptions instance.
    
    columnFamilyHandle - ColumnFamilyHandle instance.
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - thrown if an error occurs within the native part of the library.
  - flush
```
public void flush(FlushOptions flushOptions,
                  java.util.List<ColumnFamilyHandle> columnFamilyHandles)
           throws RocksDBException
```
    Flushes multiple column families.
    If atomic flush is not enabled, this is equivalent to calling flush(FlushOptions, ColumnFamilyHandle) multiple times.
    If atomic flush is enabled, this will flush all column families specified up to the latest sequence number at the time when flush is requested.
    
    Parameters:
    
    flushOptions - FlushOptions instance.
    
    columnFamilyHandles - column family handles.
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - thrown if an error occurs within the native part of the library.
  - flushWal
```
public void flushWal(boolean sync)
              throws RocksDBException
```
    Flush the WAL memory buffer to the file. If sync is true, it calls syncWal() afterwards.
    
    Parameters:
    
    sync - true to also fsync to disk.
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - if an error occurs whilst flushing
  - syncWal
```
public void syncWal()
             throws RocksDBException
```
    Sync the WAL.
    Note that write(WriteOptions, WriteBatch) followed by #syncWal() is not exactly the same as write(WriteOptions, WriteBatch) with WriteOptions.sync() set to true; In the latter case the changes won't be visible until the sync is done.
    Currently only works if Options.allowMmapWrites() is set to false.
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - if an error occurs whilst syncing
  - getLatestSequenceNumber
```
public long getLatestSequenceNumber()
```
    The sequence number of the most recent transaction.
    
    Returns:
    
    sequence number of the most recent transaction.
  - disableFileDeletions
```
public void disableFileDeletions()
                          throws RocksDBException
```
    Prevent file deletions. Compactions will continue to occur, but no obsolete files will be deleted. Calling this multiple times have the same effect as calling it once.
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - thrown if operation was not performed successfully.
  - enableFileDeletions
```
public void enableFileDeletions()
                         throws RocksDBException
```
    EnableFileDeletions will only enable file deletion after it's been called at least as many times as DisableFileDeletions(), enabling the two methods to be called by two threads concurrently without synchronization -- i.e., file deletions will be enabled only after both threads call EnableFileDeletions()
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - thrown if operation was not performed successfully.
  - getLiveFiles
```
public RocksDB.LiveFiles getLiveFiles()
                               throws RocksDBException
```
    Retrieve the list of all files in the database after flushing the memtable.
    See getLiveFiles(boolean).
    
    Returns:
    
    the live files
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - if an error occurs whilst retrieving the list of live files
  - getLiveFiles
```
public RocksDB.LiveFiles getLiveFiles(boolean flushMemtable)
                               throws RocksDBException
```
    Retrieve the list of all files in the database.
    In case you have multiple column families, even if flushMemtable is true, you still need to call getSortedWalFiles() after #getLiveFiles(boolean) to compensate for new data that arrived to already-flushed column families while other column families were flushing.
    NOTE: Calling #getLiveFiles(boolean) followed by getSortedWalFiles() can generate a lossless backup.
    
    Parameters:
    
    flushMemtable - set to true to flush before recoding the live files. Setting to false is useful when we don't want to wait for flush which may have to wait for compaction to complete taking an indeterminate time.
    
    Returns:
    
    the live files
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - if an error occurs whilst retrieving the list of live files
  - getSortedWalFiles
```
public java.util.List<LogFile> getSortedWalFiles()
                                          throws RocksDBException
```
    Retrieve the sorted list of all wal files with earliest file first.
    
    Returns:
    
    the log files
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - if an error occurs whilst retrieving the list of sorted WAL files
  - getUpdatesSince
```
public TransactionLogIterator getUpdatesSince(long sequenceNumber)
                                       throws RocksDBException
```
    Returns an iterator that is positioned at a write-batch containing seq_number. If the sequence number is non existent, it returns an iterator at the first available seq_no after the requested seq_no.
    
    Must set WAL_ttl_seconds or WAL_size_limit_MB to large values to use this api, else the WAL files will get cleared aggressively and the iterator might keep getting invalid before an update is read.
    
    Parameters:
    
    sequenceNumber - sequence number offset
    
    Returns:
    
    TransactionLogIterator instance.
    
    Throws:
    
    RocksDBException - if iterator cannot be retrieved from native-side.
