Constructor Detail

Checkpoint

public Checkpoint(Rollbackable object)

Construct a checkpoint object with an initial object in its monitored object list.

Parameters:

Method Detail

addObject

public void addObject(Rollbackable object)

Add an object to the monitored object list.

Parameters:

object - The object to be added.

commit

public void commit(long timestamp)

Commit the changes on all the monitored objects up to the given timestamp. Records of changes with timestamps less than the given timestamp are deleted.

Parameters:

timestamp - The timestamp.

createCheckpoint

public long createCheckpoint()

Create a new checkpoint and return its handle. The current timestamp is increased by one before the it (as a handle) is returned.

Returns:

The handle of the newly created checkpoint.

getTimestamp

public long getTimestamp()

Get the current timestamp (also considered as the last created handle).

Returns:

The current timestamp.

isCheckpointing

public boolean isCheckpointing()

Test if the checkpointing facility is running.

Returns:

true if the checkpointing facility is running.

removeObject

public void removeObject(Rollbackable object)

Remove an object from the monitored object list.

Parameters:

object - The object to be removed.

rollback

public void rollback(long timestamp)

Rollback all the monitored objects to their previous states defined by the given timestamp (or, handle). The records used in the rollback are automatically deleted. This is the same as rollback(timestamp, true).

Parameters:

timestamp - The timestamp taken at a previous time.

rollback(long, boolean)

rollback

public void rollback(long timestamp,
                     boolean trim)

Rollback all the monitored objects to their previous states defined by the given timestamp (or, handle).

Parameters:

timestamp - The timestamp taken at a previous time.

trim - Whether to delete the records used for the rollback.

setCheckpoint

public void setCheckpoint(Checkpoint checkpoint)

Set this checkpoint object to be the same as the given checkpoint object. The set of objects monitored by this checkpoint object is merged with those monitored by the given checkpoint.

Parameters:

checkpoint - The given checkpoint object to be merged with this one.
