Class EnvironmentConfig

java.lang.Object
  com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentMutableConfig
      com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentConfig

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class EnvironmentConfig
extends EnvironmentMutableConfig

Specifies the attributes of an environment.

To change the default settings for a database environment, an application creates a configuration object, customizes settings and uses it for environment construction. The set methods of this class validate the configuration values when the method is invoked. An IllegalArgumentException is thrown if the value is not valid for that attribute.

All commonly used environment attributes have convenience setter/getter methods defined in this class. For example, to change the default transaction timeout setting for an environment, the application should do the following:

     // customize an environment configuration
     EnvironmentConfig envConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
     // will throw if timeout value is invalid
     envConfig.setLockTimeout(250, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
     // Open the environment using this configuration.
     Environment myEnvironment = new Environment(home, envConfig);
 

Additional parameters are described by the parameter name String constants in this class. These additional parameters will not be needed by most applications. This category of properties can be specified for the EnvironmentConfig object through a Properties object read by EnvironmentConfig(Properties), or individually through EnvironmentConfig.setConfigParam().

For example, an application can change the default btree node size with:

     envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.NODE_MAX_ENTRIES, "256");
 

Environment configuration follows this order of precedence:

1. Configuration parameters specified in <environment home>/je.properties take first precedence.
2. Configuration parameters set in the EnvironmentConfig object used at Environment construction are next.
3. Any configuration parameters not set by the application are set to system defaults, described along with the parameter name String constants in this class.

An EnvironmentConfig can be used to specify both mutable and immutable environment properties. Immutable properties may be specified when the first Environment handle (instance) is opened for a given physical environment. When more handles are opened for the same environment, the following rules apply:

1. Immutable properties must equal the original values specified when constructing an Environment handle for an already open environment. When a mismatch occurs, an exception is thrown.
2. Mutable properties are ignored when constructing an Environment handle for an already open environment.

After an Environment has been constructed, its mutable properties may be changed using Environment.setMutableConfig(com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentMutableConfig). See EnvironmentMutableConfig for a list of mutable properties; all other properties are immutable. Whether a property is mutable or immutable is also described along with the parameter name String constants in this class.

Getting the Current Environment Properties

To get the current "live" properties of an environment after constructing it or changing its properties, you must call Environment.getConfig() or Environment.getMutableConfig(). The original EnvironmentConfig or EnvironmentMutableConfig object used to set the properties is not kept up to date as properties are changed, and does not reflect property validation or properties that are computed.

Time Duration Properties

Several environment and transaction configuration properties are time durations. For these properties, a time unit is specified along with an integer duration value.

When specific setter and getter methods exist for a time duration property, these methods have a TimeUnit argument. Examples are setLockTimeout(long,TimeUnit) and getLockTimeout(TimeUnit). Note that the TimeUnit argument may be null only when the duration value is zero; there is no default unit that is used when null is specified.

When a time duration is specified as a string value, the following format is used.

   <value> [ <whitespace> <unit> ]

The <value> is an integer. The <unit> name, if present, must be preceded by one or more spaces or tabs.

The following <unit> names are allowed. Both TimeUnit names and IEEE standard abbreviations are allowed. Unit names are case insensitive.

IEEE abbreviation	TimeUnit name	Definition
ns	NANOSECONDS	one billionth (10-9) of a second
us	MICROSECONDS	one millionth (10-6) of a second
ms	MILLISECONDS	one thousandth (10-3) of a second
s	SECONDS	1 second
min		60 seconds
h		3600 seconds

Examples are:

 3 seconds
 3 s
 500 ms
 1000000 (microseconds is implied)
 

Note that when the <unit> is omitted, microseconds is implied. This default is supported for compatibility with JE 3.3 and earlier. In JE 3.3 and earlier, explicit time units were not used and durations were always implicitly specified in microseconds. The older methods that do not have a TimeUnit argument, such as setLockTimeout(long) and getLockTimeout(), use microsecond durations and have been deprecated.

Field Detail

MAX_MEMORY

public static final transient String MAX_MEMORY

The CacheSize property.

To take full advantage of JE cache memory, it is strongly recommended that compressed oops (-XX:+UseCompressedOops) is specified when a 64-bit JVM is used and the maximum heap size is less than 32 GB. As described in the referenced documentation, compressed oops is sometimes the default JVM mode even when it is not explicitly specified in the Java command. However, if compressed oops is desired then it must be explicitly specified in the Java command when running DbCacheSize or a JE application. If it is not explicitly specified then JE will not aware of it, even if it is the JVM default setting, and will not take it into account when calculating cache memory sizes.

When using the shared cache feature, new environments that join the cache may alter the cache size setting if their configuration is set to a different value.

Name	Type	Mutable	Default	Minimum	Maximum
"je.maxMemory"	Long	Yes	0	-none-	-none-

See Also:

EnvironmentMutableConfig.setCacheSize(long), Constant Field Values

MAX_MEMORY_PERCENT

public static final transient String MAX_MEMORY_PERCENT

The CachePercent property.

When using the shared cache feature, new environments that join the cache may alter the cache percent setting if their configuration is set to a different value.

Name	Type	Mutable	Default	Minimum	Maximum

"je.env.recoveryForceCheckpoint"	Boolean	No	false

See Also:

Constant Field Values

HALT_ON_COMMIT_AFTER_CHECKSUMEXCEPTION

public static final transient String HALT_ON_COMMIT_AFTER_CHECKSUMEXCEPTION

By default, if a checksum exception is found at the end of the log during Environment startup, JE will assume the checksum is due to previously interrupted I/O and will quietly truncate the log and restart. If this property is set to true, when a ChecksumException occurs in the last log file during recovery, instead of truncating the log file, and automatically restarting, attempt to continue reading past the corrupted record with the checksum error to see if there are commit records following the corruption. If there are, throw an EnvironmentFailureException to indicate the presence of committed transactions. The user may then need to run DbTruncateLog to truncate the log for further recovery after doing manual analysis of the log. Setting this property is suitable when the application wants to guard against unusual cases.

Name	Type	Mutable	Default
"je.env.runEvictor"	Boolean	Yes	true

See Also:

Constant Field Values

ENV_BACKGROUND_READ_LIMIT

public static final transient String ENV_BACKGROUND_READ_LIMIT

ENV_FORCED_YIELD

public static final transient String ENV_FORCED_YIELD

Debugging support: call Thread.yield() at strategic points.

Name	Type	Mutable	Default
"je.env.forcedYield"	Boolean	No	false

See Also:

Constant Field Values

ENV_IS_TRANSACTIONAL

public static final transient String ENV_IS_TRANSACTIONAL

If true, create an environment that is capable of performing transactions. If true is not passed, transactions may not be used. For licensing purposes, the use of this method distinguishes the use of the Transactional product. Note that if transactions are not used, specifying true does not create additional overhead in the environment.

Name	Type	Mutable	Default
"je.env.isTransactional"	Boolean	No	false

See Also:

Constant Field Values

See Also:

Constant Field Values

ENV_FAIR_LATCHES

public static final transient String ENV_FAIR_LATCHES

If true, use latches instead of synchronized blocks to implement the lock table and log write mutexes. Latches require that threads queue to obtain the mutex in question and therefore guarantee that there will be no mutex starvation, but do incur a performance penalty. Latches should not be necessary in most cases, so synchronized blocks are the default. An application that puts heavy load on JE with threads with different thread priorities might find it useful to use latches. In a Java 5 JVM, where java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock is used for the latch implementation, this parameter will determine whether they are 'fair' or not. This parameter is 'static' across all environments.

Name	Type	Mutable	Default
"je.env.fairLatches"	Boolean	No	false

See Also:

Constant Field Values

ENV_DB_EVICTION

Name	Type	Mutable	Default
"je.env.dbEviction"	Boolean	No	true

See Also:

Constant Field Values

ENV_DUP_CONVERT_PRELOAD_ALL

public static final transient String ENV_DUP_CONVERT_PRELOAD_ALL

If true (the default) preload all duplicates databases at once when upgrading from JE 4.1 and earlier. If false, preload each duplicates database individually instead. Preloading all databases at once gives a performance advantage if the JE cache is roughly large enough to contain the internal nodes for all duplicates databases. Preloading each database individually gives a performance advantage if the JE cache is roughly large enough to contain the internal nodes for a single duplicates database.

LOG_N_DATA_DIRECTORIES

public static final transient String LOG_N_DATA_DIRECTORIES

The JE environment can be spread across multiple subdirectories. Environment subdirectories may be used to spread an environment's .jdb files over multiple directories, and therefore over multiple disks or file systems. Environment subdirectories reside in the environment home directory and are named data001/ through dataNNN/, consecutively, where NNN is the value of je.log.nDataDirectories. A typical configuration would be to have each of the dataNNN/ names be symbolic links to actual directories which each reside on separate file systems or disks.

If 0, all log files (*.jdb) will reside in the environment home directory passed to the Environment constructor. A non-zero value indicates the number of environment subdirectories to use for holding the environment log files.

If data subdirectories are used (i.e. je.log.nDataDirectories > 0), this parameter must be set when the environment is initially created. Like the environment home directory, each and every one of the dataNNN/ subdirectories must also be present and writable. This parameter must be set to the same value for all subsequent openings of the environment or an exception will be thrown.

If the set of existing dataNNN/ subdirectories is not equivalent to the set { 1 ... je.log.nDataDirectories } when the environment is opened, an EnvironmentFailureException will be thrown, and the Environment will fail to be opened.

This parameter should be set using the je.properties file rather than the EnvironmentConfig. If not, JE command line utilities that open the Environment will throw an exception because they will not know of the non-zero value of this parameter.

TREE_COMPACT_MAX_KEY_LENGTH

public static final transient String TREE_COMPACT_MAX_KEY_LENGTH

Specifies the maximum unprefixed key length for use in the compact in-memory key representation.

In the Btree, the JE in-memory cache, the default representation for keys uses a byte array object per key. The per-key object overhead of this approach ranges from 20 to 32 bytes, depending on the JVM platform.

To reduce memory overhead, a compact representation can instead be used where keys will be represented inside a single byte array instead of having one byte array per key. Within the single array, all keys are assigned a storage size equal to that taken up by the largest key, plus one byte to hold the actual key length. The use of the fixed size array reduces Java GC activity as well as memory overhead.

In order for the compact representation to reduce memory usage, all keys in a database, or in a Btree internal node, must be roughly the same size. The more fully populated the internal node, the more the savings with this representation since the single byte array is sized to hold the maximum number of keys in the internal node, regardless of the actual number of keys that are present.

It's worth noting that the storage savings of the compact representation are realized in addition to the storage benefits of key prefixing (if it is configured), since the keys stored in the key array are the smaller key values after the prefix has been stripped, reducing the length of the key and making it more likely that it's small enough for this specialized representation. This configuration parameter (TREE_COMPACT_MAX_KEY_LENGTH) is the maximum key length, not including the common prefix, for the keys in a Btree internal node stored using the compact representation. See DatabaseConfig.setKeyPrefixing(boolean).

The compact representation is used automatically when both of the following conditions hold.

• All keys in a Btree internal node must have an unprefixed length that is less than or equal to the length specified by this parameter (TREE_COMPACT_MAX_KEY_LENGTH).
• If key lengths vary by large amounts within an internal node, the wasted space of the fixed length storage may negate the benefits of the compact representation and cause more memory to be used than with the default representation. In that case, the default representation will be used.

If this configuration parameter is set to zero, the compact representation will not be used.

The default value of this configuration parameter is 16 bytes. The potential drawbacks of specifying a larger length are:

• Insertion and deletion for larger keys move bytes proportional to the storage length of the keys.
• With the compact representation, all operations create temporary byte arrays for each key involved in the operation. Larger byte arrays mean more work for the Java GC, even though these objects are short lived.

Mutation of the key representation between the default and compact approaches is automatic on a per-Btree internal node basis. For example, if a key that exceeds the configured length is added to a node that uses the compact representation, the node is automatically mutated to the default representation. A best effort is made to prevent frequent mutations that could increase Java GC activity.

To determine how often the compact representation is used in a running application, see EnvironmentStats.getNINCompactKeyIN().

If true, the cleaner will fetch log entries (incurring the cost of random I/O) during checkpoints and other JE background thread activities, in order to migrate log entries and reduce the cleaner backlog.

This parameter is false by default in order to avoid long checkpoint durations caused by random I/O during the checkpoint. This parameter may be set to true to keep the cleaner backlog from growing when the number of cleaner threads is not sufficient to prevent a backlog. This should be done only when the resulting duration of the checkpoint is acceptable.

CLEANER_LAZY_MIGRATION

public static final transient String CLEANER_LAZY_MIGRATION

Controls whether log cleaner threads perform LN (leaf node or record) migration immediately when processing a log file, or lazily during eviction and checkpointing. LN migration is the copying of active records from the log file being cleaned to the end of the log, prior to deletion of the log file.

By default this parameter is false. When set to true, LN migration is performed lazily during eviction (when the cache fills) and checkpointing. LNs are placed into the JE cache by the log cleaner threads as the LNs are read sequentially from the log file, but the LNs are not logged until their parent BIN (Bottom Internal Node) is evicted or checkpointed. Lazy migration has two potential advantages:

• Because records are logged when their parent BIN in the Btree is logged, records are clustered together by key as they are migrated, even when those records were not originally written in key order. This has a performance benefit if records with adjacent keys are frequently accessed together, i.e., locality of reference. However, it may be undesirable if records are frequently accessed in the order they were originally written, rather than in key order.
• Lazy migration off-loads work from the log cleaner threads to the application threads (which perform eviction) and the checkpointer thread, making it easier for the log cleaner to "keep up" with heavy write activity and maintain the configured log utilization.

If this parameter is set to false (or left false by default), LN migration will be performed immediately by the log cleaner threads, or by an application thread calling Environment.cleanLog(). Immediate migration has three potential advantages:

• Eviction and checkpointing will do less work, because they will not perform LN migration. This may result in shorter response times for application operations, and will definitely result in faster checkpoints (see CHECKPOINTER_HIGH_PRIORITY). However, more cleaner threads may be required to maintain the configured log utilization.
• When records are frequently accessed in the order they are written rather than in key order, immediate migration will preserve their order in the log.
• Migrated LNs will not occupy space in the cache, avoiding possible interference with an application caching policy.

Note that lazy migration is disabled when the CHECKPOINTER_HIGH_PRIORITY parameter is set to true, regardless of the CLEANER_LAZY_MIGRATION setting.

LOCK_OLD_LOCK_EXCEPTIONS

public static final transient String LOCK_OLD_LOCK_EXCEPTIONS

Whether to throw old-style lock exceptions for compatibility with older JE releases.

In JE 3.3 and earlier, DeadlockException or a subclass of it was always thrown when a lock conflict occurred. Applications typically caught DeadlockException in order to detect lock conflicts and determine whether to retry a transaction. DeadlockException itself was thrown when a lock or transaction timeout occurred and LockNotGrantedException (a subclass of DeadlockException) was thrown when a lock conflict occurred for a no-wait transaction (see TransactionConfig.setNoWait(boolean)).

In all releases after JE 3.3, new exceptions and the new base class LockConflictException are available. Now, LockConflictException should be caught to handle lock conflicts in a general manner, instead of catching DeadlockException. New exceptions are now thrown as follows:

• LockTimeoutException is now thrown when a lock timeout occurs, rather than DeadlockException.
• TransactionTimeoutException is now thrown when a transaction timeout occurs, rather than DeadlockException.
• LockNotAvailableException is now thrown when a lock conflict occurs for a no-wait transaction, rather than LockNotGrantedException.

These three new exceptions are subclasses of LockConflictException. DeadlockException is also now a subclass of LockConflictException, but is not currently thrown by JE because true deadlock detection is not used in JE. Currently, lock timeouts are used instead. When true deadlock detection is added to JE in the future, DeadlockException will be thrown. LockNotGrantedException has been deprecated and replaced by LockNotAvailableException.

The LOCK_OLD_LOCK_EXCEPTIONS configuraton parameter may be explicitly set to true to enable the old exception behavior. By default, this parameter is false.

Unless LOCK_OLD_LOCK_EXCEPTIONS is set to true, the following changes must be made to JE applications that upgrade from JE 3.3 or earlier.

1. All occurrences of DeadlockException must be replaced with LockConflictException or one of its non-deprecated subclasses (LockTimeoutException, TransactionTimeoutException, or LockNotAvailableException). It is strongly recommended to replace it with LockConflictException, since catching this exception will catch true deadlocks in the future and other types of lock conflicts. All lock conflicts all typically handled in the same way, which is normally to abort and retry the transaction.
2. All occurances of LockNotGrantedException must be replaced with LockNotAvailableException. LockNotGrantedException has been deprecated because it misleadingly extends DeadlockException.

Constructor Detail

EnvironmentConfig

public EnvironmentConfig()

Creates an EnvironmentConfig initialized with the system default settings.

EnvironmentConfig

public EnvironmentConfig(Properties properties)
                  throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates an EnvironmentConfig which includes the properties specified in the properties parameter.

Parameters:

properties - Supported properties are described in this class

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If any properties read from the properties param are invalid.

Method Detail

setAllowCreate

public EnvironmentConfig setAllowCreate(boolean allowCreate)

If true, creates the database environment if it doesn't already exist.

Parameters:

allowCreate - If true, the database environment is created if it doesn't already exist.

Returns:

this

getAllowCreate

public boolean getAllowCreate()

Returns a flag that specifies if we may create this environment.

Returns:

true if we may create this environment.

setLockTimeout

public EnvironmentConfig setLockTimeout(long timeout,
                                        TimeUnit unit)
                                 throws IllegalArgumentException

Configures the lock timeout.

Equivalent to setting the je.lock.timeout parameter in the je.properties file.

Parameters:

timeout - The lock timeout for all transactional and non-transactional operations. A value of zero disables lock timeouts, meaning that no lock wait time limit is enforced and a deadlocked operation will block indefinitely. We strongly recommend that a large timeout value, rather than zero, is used when deadlocks are not expected. That way, a timeout exception will be thrown when an unexpected deadlock occurs.

unit - the TimeUnit of the timeout value. May be null only if timeout is zero.

Returns:

this

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the value of timeout is invalid

Deprecated. as of 4.0, replaced by setLockTimeout(long, TimeUnit).

Configures the lock timeout, in microseconds. This method is equivalent to:

setLockTimeout(long, TimeUnit.MICROSECONDS);

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

getLockTimeout

public long getLockTimeout(TimeUnit unit)

Returns the lock timeout setting.

Parameters:

unit - the TimeUnit of the returned value. May not be null. A value of 0 means no timeout is set.

getLockTimeout

public long getLockTimeout()

Deprecated. as of 4.0, replaced by getLockTimeout(TimeUnit).

Returns the lock timeout setting, in microseconds. This method is equivalent to:

getLockTimeout(TimeUnit.MICROSECONDS);

setReadOnly

public EnvironmentConfig setReadOnly(boolean readOnly)

Configures the database environment to be read-only, and any attempt to modify a database will fail.

A read-only environment has several limitations and is recommended only in special circumstances. Note that there is no performance advantage to opening an environment read-only.

The primary reason for opening an environment read-only is to open a single environment in multiple JVM processes. Only one JVM process at a time may open the environment read-write. See EnvironmentLockedException.

When the environment is open read-only, the following limitations apply.

• In the read-only environment no writes may be performed, as expected, and databases must be opened read-only using DatabaseConfig.setReadOnly(boolean).
• The read-only environment receives a snapshot of the data that is effectively frozen at the time the environment is opened. If the application has the environment open read-write in another JVM process and modifies the environment's databases in any way, the read-only version of the data will not be updated until the read-only JVM process closes and reopens the environment (and by extension all databases in that environment).
• If the read-only environment is opened while the environment is in use by another JVM process in read-write mode, opening the environment read-only (recovery) is likely to take longer than it does after a clean shutdown. This is due to the fact that the read-write JVM process is writing and checkpoints are occurring that are not coordinated with the read-only JVM process. The effect is similar to opening an environment after a crash.
• In a read-only environment, the JE cache will contain information that cannot be evicted because it was reconstructed by recovery and cannot be flushed to disk. This means that the read-only environment may not be suitable for operations that use large amounts of memory, and poor performance may result if this is attempted.
• In a read-write environment, the log cleaner will be prohibited from deleting log files for as long as the environment is open read-only in another JVM process. This may cause disk usage to rise, and for this reason it is not recommended that an environment is kept open read-only in this manner for long periods.

For these reasons, it is recommended that a read-only environment be used only for short periods and for operations that are not performance critical or memory intensive. With few exceptions, all application functions that require access to a JE environment should be built into a single application so that they can be performed in the JVM process where the environment is open read-write.

In most applications, opening an environment read-only can and should be avoided.

Parameters:

readOnly - If true, configure the database environment to be read only, and any attempt to modify a database will fail.

Returns:

this

getReadOnly

public boolean getReadOnly()

Returns true if the database environment is configured to be read only.

This method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

Returns:

true if the database environment is configured to be read only.

setTransactional

public EnvironmentConfig setTransactional(boolean transactional)

Configures the database environment for transactions.

This configuration option should be used when transactional guarantees such as atomicity of multiple operations and durability are important.

Parameters:

transactional - If true, configure the database environment for transactions.

Returns:

this

getTransactional

public boolean getTransactional()

Returns true if the database environment is configured for transactions.

This method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

Returns:

true if the database environment is configured for transactions.

setLocking

public EnvironmentConfig setLocking(boolean locking)

Configures the database environment for no locking.

This configuration option should be used when locking guarantees such as consistency and isolation are not important. If locking mode is disabled (it is enabled by default), the cleaner is automatically disabled. The user is responsible for invoking the cleaner and ensuring that there are no concurrent operations while the cleaner is running.

Parameters:

locking - If false, configure the database environment for no locking. The default is true.

Returns:

this

getLocking

public boolean getLocking()

Returns true if the database environment is configured for locking.

This method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

Returns:

true if the database environment is configured for locking.

setTxnTimeout

public EnvironmentConfig setTxnTimeout(long timeout,
                                       TimeUnit unit)
                                throws IllegalArgumentException

Configures the transaction timeout.

Equivalent to setting the je.txn.timeout parameter in the je.properties file.

Parameters:

timeout - The transaction timeout. A value of 0 turns off transaction timeouts.

unit - the TimeUnit of the timeout value. May be null only if timeout is zero.

Returns:

this

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the value of timeout is negative

                                throws IllegalArgumentException

Deprecated. as of 4.0, replaced by setTxnTimeout(long, TimeUnit).

Configures the transaction timeout, in microseconds. This method is equivalent to:

setTxnTimeout(long, TimeUnit.MICROSECONDS);

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

getTxnTimeout

public long getTxnTimeout(TimeUnit unit)

Returns the transaction timeout.

A value of 0 means transaction timeouts are not configured.

Parameters:

unit - the TimeUnit of the returned value. May not be null.

Returns:

The transaction timeout.

getTxnTimeout

public long getTxnTimeout()

Deprecated. as of 4.0, replaced by getTxnTimeout(TimeUnit).

Returns the transaction timeout, in microseconds. This method is equivalent to:

getTxnTimeout(TimeUnit.MICROSECONDS);

setTxnSerializableIsolation

public EnvironmentConfig setTxnSerializableIsolation(boolean txnSerializableIsolation)

Configures all transactions for this environment to have Serializable (Degree 3) isolation. By setting Serializable isolation, phantoms will be prevented. By default transactions provide Repeatable Read isolation. The default is false for the database environment.

Returns:

this

See Also:

LockMode

getTxnSerializableIsolation

public boolean getTxnSerializableIsolation()

Returns true if all transactions for this environment has been configured to have Serializable (Degree 3) isolation.

Returns:

true if the environment has been configured to have repeatable read isolation.

See Also:

LockMode

setSharedCache

public EnvironmentConfig setSharedCache(boolean sharedCache)

If true, the shared cache is used by this environment.

By default this parameter is false and this environment uses a private cache. If this parameter is set to true, this environment will use a cache that is shared with all other open environments in this process that also set this parameter to true. There is a single shared cache per process.

By using the shared cache, multiple open environments will make better use of memory because the cache LRU algorithm is applied across all information in all environments sharing the cache. For example, if one environment is open but not recently used, then it will only use a small portion of the cache, leaving the rest of the cache for environments that have been recently used.

Parameters:

sharedCache - If true, the shared cache is used by this environment.

Returns:

this

getSharedCache

public boolean getSharedCache()

Returns true if the shared cache is used by this environment.

Returns:

true if the shared cache is used by this environment. @see #setSharedCache

setNodeName

public EnvironmentConfig setNodeName(String nodeName)

Sets the user defined nodeName for the Environment. If set, exception messages, logging messages, and thread names will have this nodeName included in them. If a user has multiple Environments in a single JVM, setting this to a string unique to each Environment may make it easier to diagnose certain exception conditions as well as thread dumps.

Returns:

this

getNodeName

public String getNodeName()

Returns the user defined nodeName for the Environment.

setLoggingHandler

public EnvironmentConfig setLoggingHandler(Handler handler)

Set a java.util.logging.Handler which will be used by all java.util.logging.Loggers instantiated by this Environment. This lets the application specify a handler which

• requires a constructor with arguments
• is specific to this environment, which is important if the application is using multiple environments within the same process.

Note that Handler is not serializable, and the logging handler should be set within the same process.

getLoggingHandler

public Handler getLoggingHandler()

Returns the custom java.util.logging.Handler specified by the application.

setConfigParam

public EnvironmentConfig setConfigParam(String paramName,
                                        String value)
                                 throws IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from class: EnvironmentMutableConfig

Overrides:

setConfigParam in class EnvironmentMutableConfig

Parameters:

paramName - the configuration parameter name, one of the String constants in this class

value - The configuration value

Returns:

this

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the paramName or value is invalid.

setRecoveryProgressListener

public EnvironmentConfig setRecoveryProgressListener(ProgressListener<RecoveryProgress> progressListener)

Configure the environment to make periodic calls to a ProgressListener to provide feedback on environment startup (recovery). The ProgressListener.progress() method is called at different stages of the recovery process. See RecoveryProgress for information about those stages.

When using progress listeners, review the information at ProgressListener.progress(T, long, long) to avoid any unintended disruption to environment startup.

Parameters:

progressListener - The ProgressListener to callback during environment startup (recovery).

getRecoveryProgressListener

public ProgressListener<RecoveryProgress> getRecoveryProgressListener()

Return the ProgressListener to be used at this environment startup.

setClassLoader

public ClassLoader getClassLoader()

Returns the ClassLoader for loading user-supplied classes by name, or null if no specified ClassLoader is configured.

clone

public EnvironmentConfig clone()

Returns a copy of this configuration object.
