All Implemented Interfaces:

Channel, Configurable, LifecycleAware, NamedComponent

@InterfaceAudience.Public
@InterfaceStability.Stable
public class MemoryChannel
extends BasicChannelSemantics

MemoryChannel is the recommended channel to use when speeds which writing to disk is impractical is required or durability of data is not required.

Additionally, MemoryChannel should be used when a channel is required for unit testing purposes.

Method Detail

configure

public void configure(Context context)

Read parameters from context

capacity = type long that defines the total number of events allowed at one time in the queue.

transactionCapacity = type long that defines the total number of events allowed in one transaction.

byteCapacity = type long that defines the max number of bytes used for events in the queue.

byteCapacityBufferPercentage = type int that defines the percent of buffer between byteCapacity and the estimated event size.

keep-alive = type int that defines the number of second to wait for a queue permit

Specified by:

configure in interface Configurable

Overrides:

configure in class AbstractChannel

start

public void start()

Description copied from interface: LifecycleAware

Starts a service or component.

Implementations should determine the result of any start logic and effect the return value of LifecycleAware.getLifecycleState() accordingly.

Specified by:

start in interface LifecycleAware

Overrides:

start in class AbstractChannel

stop

public void stop()

Description copied from interface: LifecycleAware

Stops a service or component.

Implementations should determine the result of any stop logic and effect the return value of LifecycleAware.getLifecycleState() accordingly.

Specified by:

stop in interface LifecycleAware

Overrides:

stop in class AbstractChannel

createTransaction

protected BasicTransactionSemantics createTransaction()

Description copied from class: BasicChannelSemantics

Called to create new Transaction objects, which must extend BasicTransactionSemantics. Each object is used for only one transaction, but is stored in a thread-local and retrieved by getTransaction for the duration of that transaction.

Specified by:

createTransaction in class BasicChannelSemantics
