Class VersionedRecordExtension

java.lang.Object

software.amazon.awssdk.enhanced.dynamodb.extensions.VersionedRecordExtension

All Implemented Interfaces:

DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension

public final class VersionedRecordExtension
extends Object
implements DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension

This extension implements optimistic locking on record writes by means of a 'record version number' that is used to automatically track each revision of the record as it is modified.

This extension is loaded by default when you instantiate a DynamoDbEnhancedClient so unless you are using a custom extension there is no need to specify it.

To utilize versioned record locking, first create an attribute in your model that will be used to store the record version number. This attribute must be an 'integer' type numeric (long or integer), and you need to tag it as the version attribute. If you are using the BeanTableSchema then you should use the DynamoDbVersionAttribute annotation, otherwise if you are using the StaticTableSchema then you should use the VersionedRecordExtension.AttributeTags.versionAttribute() static attribute tag.

Then, whenever a record is written the write operation will only succeed if the version number of the record has not been modified since it was last read by the application. Every time a new version of the record is successfully written to the database, the record version number will be automatically incremented.

beforeWrite

public WriteModification beforeWrite(DynamoDbExtensionContext.BeforeWrite context)

Description copied from interface: DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension

This hook is called just before an operation is going to write data to the database. The extension that implements this method can choose to transform the item itself, or add a condition to the write operation or both.

Specified by:

beforeWrite in interface DynamoDbEnhancedClientExtension

Parameters:

context - The DynamoDbExtensionContext.BeforeWrite context containing the state of the execution.

Returns:

A WriteModification object that can alter the behavior of the write operation.
